A creative chef showcased three different artsy ways to cook an egg.
Footage shows the man creating three egg dishes for his afternoon tea in Jiangsu, China, on December 3.
He started by frying six eggs together in a small pan and positioning the yolks using spoons, revealing symmetrically spaced yolks. He then sliced the dish into pizza-like wedges and finished it with a parsley garnish.
Next, he steam-boiled an egg with two yolks inside and plated it alongside the silver pan, adding a pinch of salt for taste.
Finally, he boiled an egg and shaped it into a neat square. Cutting it in half revealed a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk. He placed it on a white plate with a touch of ketchup and a sprinkle of parsley.
The Institute of Culinary Education said that eggs are often considered the first thing chefs should learn because of their versatility, affordability, and ability to teach fundamental cooking techniques.
'Eggs can be used in a wide variety of dishes, are readily available, and their cooking process allows a chef to easily practise and master basic skills like temperature control, timing, and different cooking methods, from frying to poaching to scrambling, which are essential building blocks for more complex recipes,' they added.
