So today, we used the eggs for Omeurice ("oh-meu-rice") which is basically a korean fried rice dish that's tucked nicely away in a blanket of egg before it is tucked nicely away... in our stomachs. :)
Usually, the egg is so hard to flip without breaking. For those who've tried, you can probably commiserate with the feeling. Practice has made the art a little more doable even for my accident-prone hands. (Miraculously, I only have one scar, which came from the back side of a butterknife)
So today, it was time for an egg-speriment since we're still trying to work down those free eggs we acquired. In our house, we like eat eggs over easy which means that when they are bothered, they throw a yellow fit all over your plate! A terrible way to start the morning, but my husband has found a way to tame his yolk by eating the white area around the yolk first, and proceding to package the egg's tantrum into his mouth. Mine throws fits almost every time...
So the egg-speriment was to try to incorporate our favorite over easy eggs into our omeurice egg. I fried the egg sunny side up, took it off and proceeded to make the blanket of egg. While the blanket is half done, put the fried egg upside down onto the raw side and let sit for a few seconds. Avoid leaving it too long because the yolk will cook! Then flip the entire egg over quickly and leave on the pan just until the egg is cooked and remove. The first time was a success! The pocket of attitude is in the center and tame.
Feeling good, it was onto the second one, but this one was not so fortunate. It was on the move during the flip...
Major flop...This will be my egg.
On a brighter note, the final omeurice!
