My love affair with Sunny

I have a love affair with eggs cooked sunny side ups, bull's eye, mata lembu, mata kerbau or what ever else its called!

But I am pretty fussy about it...
1. The yolk must'n be over cooked, so no blocky solids please.
2. The white mus't wear a black skirt...i.e. over cook it till it tastes like plastic. But must be slightly brown n crunchy
3. No pock marks on the yolk
4. Not too hot
5. Not too oily

Frying on a hot pan will often burn out the whites...yes? But the yolk is more raw then your half boiled!
Putting the heat in low will take forever!!

So, heres my cheat.

The 2 minute sunny
1. Heat pan high and hot, glaze with olive oil
2. Crack ur egg carefully
3. Leave it for about 30s, the white edges will slowly turn to brown.
4. Take about 1 tbls of drinking water
5. Pour into pan and cover it with a lid. It turns to steam and cooks the yolk and white on top.
6. Turn fire off as the white on the yolk starts to turn white. Residual heat will cook it gentle...while you get your plates out.

Taddaaa...Mr. Sunny is ready.

I love them with a little sweet chilli sauce. This time with some edamame. The yolk oozes nicely and blends in with the sauce beautifully! Plate licking yummilicous!
