Instructions
- Fill the bottom of a round-bottomed pan, like a wok, with a neutral oil. Heat over medium heat and make sure to get the oil very hot before moving on, almost to the point of smoking.
- Crack the egg into the center of the oil. It will puff up quickly.
- Once it has cooked a bit, I like to loosen the bottom of the egg from the pan with a spatula. This makes it easy to remove the egg from the pan when it’s done.
- For a runny yolk, let the egg cook as it is. You can also spoon some hot oil over the yolk, which will set the yolk a bit and make it less runny.
- When the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the egg white is cooked, the egg is ready. Slide your spatula under the egg and tilt it against the edge of your pan to drain off any excess oil, and then it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the oil covers the bottom of the round pan, so the egg can fry nicely.
- You can use chicken eggs or duck eggs for a richer, creamier yolk.
- It's important to use a round bottom pan, like a wok pan.
Make sure the oil covers the bottom of the round pan, so the egg can fry nicely.
