  1. Heat oil to 160°C. Place two wooden spatulas or spoons in the hot oil.

  2. Break the egg into a small container and carefully pour into the hot oil.

  3. The hot oil will bubble, and using the wooden spatulas, turn the egg.

  4. Continue to turn the egg so that it colors evenly.

  5. Once cooked, approximately 3 minutes, place on a napkin or paper to absorb excess oil.

  6. Trim the crisp bits of egg white to give the egg an even, rounded appearance.

  7. Season with salt and pepper and serve while still hot and crisp on the outside.
