Crispy Fried Egg

Posted by wiffy on June 11, 2015

For best results, use a wok or small saucepan, and cook the eggs one at a time.

Prep Time: 2 mins

Cook Time: 5 mins

Carefully crack the egg into a small bowl without breaking the yolk.
Add enough oil to cover a thin layer of the wok or skillet.
Heat oil on medium heat, until small bubbles gather immediately when a bamboo chopstick is inserted into the oil.
Carefully lower the egg into the oil. The egg will start to splutter and bubble quite rapidly, so it’s a good idea to stand back for a while. As soon as the edges are crisp (it should take only about a minute or so), turn off the heat. Gently scoop some hot oil directly onto the yolk if you want a thin film to cover the yolk, but don’t over-do this otherwise the yolk will be set and no longer runny. Remove the crispy fried egg with a spatula. Eat it on its own (seasoned with salt and pepper, if preferred) or serve with fried rice or noodles.

Ingredients Used: egg • vegetable oil

Woah…violent splattering of oil ah! Hahaha, you control it well. :) Seems the oil needs to be hot too.

I love fried egg with runny yolk. I do that quite often. Typically, my edges turned out not as crispy (and brown) as yours, but I am contented with runny yolk.

P.S Read in instagram that you just recovered from a cold/flu. Hope you are ok. Take care.

  Thanks dear, I’m better now. In the midst of recuperating from a 100-day cough XD
  
  I know what you mean. I only do my fried egg this way when I have the mood to cook or a serious craving to satisfy .. But runny yolk, is a MUST :)

May I know what kind of pan you are using? Korean pan? Looks interesting.

  Yes, this is a Korean pan. The brand is K-Art and I bought it from Robinsons Raffles Place :)

I love this style of fried egg and yes that splattering is scary but the reward is awesome.

Best of both worlds: crispy aromatic whites and runny oozy yolk.
