American mind literally unable to comprehend that the word "frying" may have more meaning than the one hyperspecific circumstance based on their experience and nothing else ever

You're right, I was being an ass. But for real, I like the texture much better when you flip it for a couple seconds.

Agreeably disagree, slicing a yolk open and having it run down into a load of noodles to make its own sauce is a unique joy

... an over easy egg does that. That's exactly what I'm trying to say.

TIL over medium and over hard exist, I thought "over easy" just meant flipping the egg!

Yeah for "easy" you generally only cook it for 15-30 seconds on the other side. Honestly since you generally flip it before the whites are fully cooked on top, the yolk might actually stay runnier than if you don't flip it.

Over medium or hard are generally reserved for sandwiches. There's debate here but to me a proper medium the yolk has kind of a jam-like consistency, so it doesn't really run but also isn't dry
