Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 1 bowl Ice water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with 2 liters of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the water cool down for 1 minute. The temperature should be around 160°F (70°C) to ensure perfect Onsen eggs.
Step 3
Carefully add the eggs straight from the refrigerator into the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.
Step 4
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 15 minutes to cook at a low and even temperature.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl with ice water.
Step 6
After 15 minutes, remove the eggs from the pot and immediately transfer them to the ice water bowl. Let them cool down for at least 10 minutes; this stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
Step 7
Once cooled, gently crack the shells and peel the eggs. Be careful, as they will be quite delicate.
Step 8
Serve the Onsen eggs warm, over salads, rice bowls, or as a side. For added flavor, drizzle with soy sauce and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
