Quick and Easy Onsen Tamago ("Hot Spring" Soft-Boiled Eggs) step by step
- Heat a pot full of water and bring to a rolling boil. Use a small pot for 1-2 eggs and a large pot for 3-4 eggs..
- Remove from the heat, wait 1 minute, and put the cold eggs into the water. Do not cover with a lid. Wait 12 minutes. Keep the eggs separated. After putting them into the hot water, don't move them about..
- After 12 minutes, remove the eggs from the pot and cool in ice cold water. Even if the outside of the egg is cool the middle is still hot and = liquid, so be careful! Make sure to cool for 5-10 minutes it has completely cooled all the way through, and it's done..
- Gently crack the egg open right into the container. The contents of the egg will roll right out. If you crack it open from a height the egg white will separate from the yolk, so please be careful..
