Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2000 ml Water for boiling
- 1000 ml Cold water
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, take the saucepan off the heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Gently add the eggs into the hot water using a spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Step 5
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 30 minutes.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a breakfast dish or use as a luxurious topping over rice or noodles. Enjoy your sugar-free onsen egg!
