Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2000 ml Water for boiling
- 1000 ml Cold water
Instructions
Start by bringing 2000 ml of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Ensure the saucepan has enough space to submerge all four eggs comfortably.
Once the water is boiling, take the saucepan off the heat.
Carefully add the cold water (1000 ml) to the saucepan. This will lower the temperature of the water, creating the perfect environment for onsen eggs.
Gently add the eggs into the hot water using a spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and cool them for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently crack the eggs into a bowl. The whites will be just set, and the yolks will be rich and creamy, replicating the texture of traditional onsen eggs.
Serve immediately as a breakfast dish or use as a luxurious topping over rice or noodles. Enjoy your sugar-free onsen egg!
