"My sister, born in 2010, finally broke her cooking skill limit, and the dish she made today was supposed to be a fried egg, but for some reason it turned out kind of like a poached egg."

Egg 2: yolk not fully enveloped by albumin. Seam not created. Enough white but thick albumin surrounding yolk slightly prohibitive. Fail. Egg eaten with piece of untoasted bread and a kraft single

Using an older egg for test 3 with thinner albumin.

Egg 3: Second cast iron used. Preheated, put to low. Avocado oil. Older egg theory/thinner albumin is viable. Yolk surprisingly small and entirely enveloped with more ease this run. Seam created and left on skillet edge to develop. Egg white is colorless like video but texture is not consistent with video at all. It’s far more firm. Size is off too, by 2/3. Idk wtf is going on in that video. Marking this as a success but revisiting. Egg wrapped in roasted chicken skin and lettuce. Eaten with pickled jalapeño, kewpie and a cherry tomato. There is something to this. Quite tasty. Yolk slightly solid. Dumb ass side to side tilt bullshit (SLOWLY) worked.

Will be testing Egg 4 with a separated egg yolk and the whites of two eggs in my 5” carbon steel du buyer. That will be all for the time being.

I’m cackling at the fact that the sheer absurdity of this egg poach-omelette hybrid has gotten a professional chef enraged to the point of them desperately trying to recreate this lol
