When I was younger (as recent as high school) I hated when eggs were
not cooked all the way through. Sometimes my mom would give me a fried
egg, and the middle part of the yolk would still be a little runny, so
I would always leave that part. It would just always gross me out.
I'd always order eggs scrambled when eating out. Whenever I ordered
bibimbap, I would have to explain that I wanted my egg fully cooked.
Then sometime in college, I got a kimchi bokumbap, and there was an
egg on top, and it was sunny side up. The big shiny glob of uncooked
yolk stared back at me. I knew it wouldn't be possible to excise the
yolk without breaking the thin membrane holding it together and
spilling its runny contents all over my bokumbap. Should I just set
the whole egg aside? But I want egg. And where would I put it anyway?
There wasn't any room on the plate, and I can't just put a whole sunny
side egg on the table. Think about it. I guess I could have just
asked them to cook it for me, but I was hungry now. And a strange
feeling of "ah who cares" came over me. I popped it and mixed the rice
up really good so that I couldn't see any uncooked yolk. Also I think
I was hoping that the rice would somehow cook the egg if I spread it
out enough.
That day, I really enjoyed it. From then on, I made sure the egg on
my bokumbap was sunny side up. It's helped me be more adventurous.
I'll go w/ over-easy when getting those american breakfasts. It's
especially good with tons of ketchup and some sorta potato like
hashbrowns or those country potatoes and some english muffin or
country biscuit all mixed up together. mmm....
