On the other hand my brokerages are big enough so as

did fail a long time ago - W.E. Hutton).

How often do you do it, and is it always resting and
at the same general time of day?

Then why bother with ingredients lists? This issue pops
up when I'm asked to give a recipe for something I make.
I don't know what I'm going to put in or do until I do
it, and I'm likely to forget after doing so.

 I've a German cook book

That's a sensible way, given that eggs are not all
the same size, and the feel method is not easily
transmissible in writing.

Hotplate tofu
cat: Singapore, no tofu, egg, main
servings: 4

200 g minced pork
- marinated with
1 ts sesame oil
1 pn salt
pepper
1 ts corn starch
6  prawns (more to taste)
2  pk egg tofu (1/2 lb each)
1/2 carrot, sliced
3 cm ginger, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 scallions, green and white chopped separately
1 Tb oyster sauce 
2 Tb chilli bean paste (use less for less spicy)
1 ts light soy sauce
sugar, salt, white pepper to taste
1 Tb cornstarch dissolved in
- 2 Tb water
2 eggs, beaten

Cut egg tofu in 1" slices. Deep fry in oil and set
aside. To get even browning, make sure you have
lots of oil in the wok (80% Oil 20% tofu) and heat
to at least 170C.  Once you put the tofu into the
oil, don't touch it for at least 1-2 min then gently
swirl it around and remove from oil once it is
golden brown and drain.

Heat wok until it smokes, turn off heat and add oil.
Turn up the heat again and fry the ginger, garlic,
and scallions (white part) until fragrant.  Add
minced meat and fry until cooked. Add oyster sauce,
chilli bean paste, soy sauce, and 1 c water and add
the veggies.  Simmer until vegetables are cooked and
water is reduced. Adjust to taste with sugar and
salt. Thicken with cornstarch and set aside.

Heat hot plate until very hot. Brush on some oil
and add the egg. Arrange the tofu onto the hotplate
and add the sauce. Sprinkle some pepper and chopped
green onions and serve.
