How Do You Like Your Eggs?
Just like having your meat cooked rare, medium or well, an egg's yolk can be fried to different degrees of firmness.
Over Hard: Cooked on both sides until the yolk is solid.
Over Medium: Cooked on both sides until the yolk is thick, but still liquid.
Over Easy: Cooked on both sides, but yolk is liquid. Also referred to as "runny."
Sunny Side Up: Cooked on one side. Yolk is liquid.
Steam-Fried: A teaspoon of water is poured over each egg and a cover placed on the pan for the last minute of cooking.
Fried: Cooked on both sides with a broken yolk, which is fried until hard. This variation is commonly used in Asian dishes and in fried egg sandwiches.

I am not really particular about the eggs I eat but I do insist that it be cooked just before I eat it. I like red eggs. Cheers!!

Sunny side up... I tasted the others that you mention but nothing beats the sunny side up for me.... I eat the white one first and eat the yolk whole... its really good when it is newly cooked....

I just love eggs in any form. Less boiled to hard boiled. My mom prepares scrambled egg in her own style and I just love it. As you said its typical Asian style, more appropriately Indian style. I prefer poaches (sunny side up) on breakfast with pepper and salt sprinkles.
Oh I am so hungry now...lunch time, I guess.

I like my eggs either scrambled, or hard cooked, as in cooked on both sides until the yoke is solid, I don't like runny eggs...just don't..lol. My husband on the other hand likes his over easy...and of course I like fried eggs too, good as a sandwhich.
