It’s not much but it’s honest work

    Lentils reduce your carb sugars but I saw rice in that bowl as well. It looks good and tasty.

        I used to work at a breakfast place. It really makes a big difference to be sure to add enough oil in the pan and get it hot. Nonstick, and don’t touch it until the whites set on the bottom. Give it a gentle shake to see if it’s stuck, if it is, get a silicone spatula and gently nudge it. Then you can practice flipping in pan if you want. I really like to utilize a lid with water, but we didn’t do that, just reduced the heat a bit and let it cook. :⁠-⁠)

        Edit: re: flipping. Really make sure you don’t add too much oil because if you do, you can burn yourself. If that happens, no emergency, just place a towel on your hand and arm.

          I find that for me it rarely gets crisp in a way that will break or crack and it just ends up kinda sinewy. I’ve worried that maybe its cause I’m using steam with a lid to help set the top but I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong

      I just get a little bit of oil hot in a nonstick pan(that’s all i got, dunno if it would work better with a stainless or other) then crack the egg in the oil once it’s nice and hot. Once it’s in there, you don’t want to touch it. It should lift off the pan easily once the underside gets golden. If the top isn’t cooked enough, lower the heat, add a lid and let it set. Best of luck in your egg journey ;)

          If you want your yolk to be runny, you have to crank the heat up quite a bit… That may be an issue _

          You already got the hot pan bit, but I’ll give you something to look for - you want the egg to immediately start bubbling on the bottom when it hits the pan.

          I personally use butter instead of oil, but any fat will keep the egg from sticking. Any pan should do fine, but if you’re using stainless a bit more fat is probably a good idea. Things seem to stick the most to stainless pans in my experience.

          As for the top of the egg, you can either give it a flip and cook the other side for a short while (aka over easy) or use a lid. You don’t have to use a lid, but it makes it a lot easier. If you’re going the lid route toss a teaspoon or two of water in the pan before you cover it.

    This morning I had an egg like that on top of mashed sweet potato. Different flavor profile, bit sometimes I fry it in chilicrisp.

        It’s pretty good. You can make it yourself, but it’s probably as cost-effective for ready made.

        Some sort of sweetness (sugar, honey, molasses), dried chili’s, garlic, onion, bit of salt, oil, whatever else you like.
