Medamayaki (Japanese-Style Fried Eggs)
Fried eggs are probably one of the most commonly eaten egg dishes in the world, but Medamayaki, a Japanese-style fried egg, is prepared in a slightly different way. You don't need any special Japanese ingredients to make it. Give it a try and compare its taste to that of the one you are used to eating.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp neutral oil or butter
- pinch of salt
- pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, crack the egg into it.
- When the egg white begins to set, cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let it steam for 3 minutes or until cooked to your preferred level.
- Remove the lid and sprinkle salt and pepper over the egg (or alternatively, add your preferred condiments after serving).
Notes
- This dish is not suitable for storage, so consume it as soon as possible after making it. Storing it may lead to the growth of Salmonella bacteria, which poses a risk of food poisoning.
