Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces egg whites
- 1 liter water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
Bring the 1 liter of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 1 minute to cool slightly.
Carefully add the 4 large eggs to the water using a spoon, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the eggs sit in the warm water for 17 minutes.
After 17 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 egg whites with the soy sauce and mirin.
Gently crack and peel the cooled onsen eggs, aiming to keep the eggs intact.
Serve each egg in a bowl, topped with a portion of the whisked egg white mixture.
Garnish with finely chopped green onions before serving.
