Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 10 Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Fill a saucepan or a pot with 2 liters of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
After the water has slightly cooled, gently place the eggs into the water, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 18 minutes to allow them to cook slowly.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and adding the ice cubes.
After 18 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently crack the eggs on a flat surface and peel away the shell to reveal the delicate onsen eggs.
Serve the eggs in small bowls, and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each egg for flavor, if desired.
