Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 10 Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Fill a saucepan or a pot with 2 liters of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
After the water has slightly cooled, gently place the eggs into the water, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 18 minutes to allow them to cook slowly.
Step 5
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and adding the ice cubes.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once cooled, gently crack the eggs on a flat surface and peel away the shell to reveal the delicate onsen eggs.
Step 8
Serve the eggs in small bowls, and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each egg for flavor, if desired.
