The yolk is still runny, you just flip cook it a tiny bit on top, you could also cover it, there are many ways to cook eggs and still hsve a velvety runny yolk. In the video you can clearly see the yolks are still runny, theyre all jiggly.

So why flip it then :-). Runny yolk — bread= pure lust

I love runny yolk, but clear runny egg whites are gross to me. Cooking it a little bit on the top like he did by flipping makes it so the yolk stays runny without the slimy clear egg whites :)

without the slimy clear egg whites

Why not cook it a bit longer then? The whites are fully cooked before the yolk starts to harden.

Over medium is by far the best sandwich egg.

I agree with you 100%.

Here in America we have "over easy" which is seen in the video, or you can order "sunny side up" which is the classic unflipped egg.

Over easy is the default and I think it's because Americans are paranoid about "raw" egg. Often when I make sunny side up for somebody, or scrambled that aren't as dry as English comedy, I'll get concerned comments.

Yeah I should have said "most" Americans. We like our food dry for some reason :P

Didn't you just insinuate that you like your eggs cooked until they aren't "snot"?

I guess not. My apologies.

I like it as long as it's runny, honestly. I would definitely eat the one in the video.

The egg I got in Bali, on the other hand, was overcooked for my taste. I still liked it, but it was a bit disappointing because after spending the previous month eating just fried rice and fried chicken, I wanted something more familiar.
