Yes, I am showing you how to fry egg! By the way, I am using a wok. Non-stick cooking pan is too delicate and a pain in the neck! They don't last and to me, a waste of money! However, if you have a non-stick or ordinary pan, it should be the same.
First, wash the wok or pan. Set it over "high" fire and dry the wok or pan.
When dry, pour in a little cooking oil. But the surface area must be all greased. (the photo here has been "enhanced to show the oil)
To grease the wok or pan, you can do it my way - run water over 2 fingers under the tap, shake of excess water (non dripping wet) and then in a flicking action over the oil, a tiny amount of water is "shaken" into the hot oil. The wok should now be well grease due to the jumping oil. Otherwise, use whatever method you normally use to grease the surface.
Crack in the egg...
And lower the fire ...
Cover the wok or pan.
While it is frying slowly, go to prepare the next dish. It takes 5 minutes to cook until like this...! But this is also depending on the size of the fire. Too hot, the egg burn. Too small, it takes longer to cook.
If you don't like the creamy yoke, flip it over and in 5 seconds, it becomes this...
ok, if you don't care whether the egg yoke is intact or not and you just want to fry some eggs fast, then do this: After you crack in the eggs, wait for a few seconds as you see the bottom part is "harden"; flick the eggs over and reduce the fire by half. Cover it up and it should be done in about 1-2 minutes.By the way, I fry all the eggs in one go... up to six so far. If I were to do them one by one, everyone will miss school in the morning!

try to fried with water instead of cooking oil, you probably will like it.
Lasapka,
Fried with water? Indeed there is such a dish. It is actually boil in water. And I like it very much. To do this, bring to boil a pot of water (no too much water). Lower the fire and gently crack egg into the simmering water. I believe salt is added into the water first. Then just wait for the egg to be firm and then scoop it up for serving.
It is called 'poached' eggs, Lasapka.
cooking egg w/out shell in water, that should be poaching then. OO, so william it means the amount of oil must be enough, wok is hot enough, then when put egg in, can lower the heat. Haha, thanks. i ll try eat.
lol, i meant try it (not eat)
Actually this method of frying egg uses very little oil. Wok must be hot but not steaming hot. Because I fry on one side only, the heat must be reduced after you put the egg in otherwise the egg will burn. Practice a few times and you will be an expert too! The egg will be so nice that you will want to eat it! Egg is good for all of us as it is a complete food. Just one a day!
I prefer to cover the egg after i cracked it so it will be nicely cooked without turning it.
