Avocado Toast & Egg
When you are in a rush and don’t have time, an Avocado Toast and an egg is quick and simple enough. You would put your toast into your toaster. Spray a little bit of cooking oil onto your frying pan and turn the heat up to high. After the oil and pan is hot, you then crack 1 egg into the frying pan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper onto the egg.
When the egg is still cooking, you can start cutting open your avocado. Slice the avocado or smash it. Take out the heated toast and put or spread the avocado onto it. Your egg should be cooked by then, so simply take it out from the frying pan and put it on the same plate as your avocado and toast.

Chinese Omelet
To make a Chinese Omelet, you would need to spray a little bit of cooking oil onto your frying pan and turn the heat up to high. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and stir. After the oil and pan is hot, you then pour the egg into the frying pan and then lay the plain pancake on top of the egg. Turn the heat down to medium high. When the egg seems to be cooked and is sticking to the plain pancake, you flip it over. You can then add whatever you would like on top of the egg, such as bacon or corn (optional). The last step is to fold the whole pancake into a rectangular form and then cut it into smaller pieces to eat. It is recommended to add some soy paste to the Chinese Omelet when you eat it.
