## Stop frying sunny-side-up eggs by simply pouring oil into the pan! Expert shares a simple “1-step trick” for crisp edges and a tender, perfectly cooked center: no sticking, with the yolk intact

Japanese chef papuchan shared tips for frying sunny-side-up eggs, saying the main reason they stick is adding oil to a cold pan and recommending that you heat an iron pan before adding oil. The chef also explained that whether you add water determines the texture: adding water makes the eggs soft and runny, ideal with rice, while cooking without water makes them crisp and fragrant, ideal with toast.

Facts:
- Japanese chef papuchan says eggs sticking to the pan is often not a problem with the cookware, but with the timing of when the oil is added.
- A washed iron pan often retains tiny amounts of water. Adding oil to a cold pan causes the oil and water to mix, preventing a protective film from forming on the pan’s surface.
- To fry a sunny-side-up egg properly, first preheat the iron pan over medium heat for about 1 minute. Once all the moisture has evaporated, add cooking oil.
- Steaming and frying an egg with water produces soft egg whites and a rich, semi-runny yolk, making it ideal for serving with rice.
- Frying an egg without water in hot oil makes the edges of the egg white fragrant and crisp, while the yolk is firmer—ideal for putting in toast or a hamburger.
