Fried eggs are 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. Give it a try and compare its flavor to the one you are used to eating.
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 it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the lid and sprinkle salt and pepper over the egg (or add your preferred condiments after serving).
Notes
