Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups ice
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized pot with 6 cups of water and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
Heat the water until it reaches a temperature of approximately 160°F (70°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature. This is important to ensure the eggs cook evenly without scrambling.
Step 3
Once the correct temperature is reached, gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon to avoid cracking.
Step 4
Maintain the water temperature between 160°F and 165°F (70°C to 74°C) for 20 minutes to allow the eggs to cook slowly and achieve a semi-solid yolk with a soft white.
Step 5
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 2 cups of ice and cold water.
Step 6
After the eggs have cooked for 20 minutes, carefully transfer them from the pot to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. This will stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Step 7
Leave the eggs in the ice bath for about 5 minutes to cool them down.
Step 8
Gently crack and peel the eggs when ready to serve. You'll find that the white is set yet soft, and the yolk is custard-like.
Step 9
Serve the onsen eggs on salads, over rice, ramen, or enjoy as a simple snack. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
