Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1000 ml Cold water
- 500 ml Boiling water
- 60 ml Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 15 ml Mirin
- 1 tsp Dashi powder
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Fill a pot with 1000 ml of cold water and bring it to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat.
Add 500 ml of boiling water to the pot to slightly lower the temperature.
Gently add the eggs to the pot and cover with a lid.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed in the hot water for precisely 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and dashi powder until well combined. Set aside.
After 18 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs gently to maintain their soft texture.
In a serving bowl, place an Onsen egg and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over it.
Garnish with finely sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Enjoy warm or chilled as desired.
