Hi. everyone! I'm Masa
Today I want to share with you a delicious treat made from eggs
It's called Onsen Eggs
and its mandarin name is
I believe everyone has heard this food before
It used to be cooked in the hot spring
The egg was put into hot spring
and cooked to medium doneness
The texture is unlike that of boiled egg
It's more tender
Eating directly,
going with noodles or placing on steamed rice all taste delicious
To cook Onsen Eggs
Of course, it's not necessary to look for a hot spring
You can make it at home as well
Today I'm going to share with you homemade method
Ok. Let's begin!
Water - 1000cc
Turn on heat
Bring to a boil
Turn off heat after boiling
Room temperature water - 300cc
Egg (can eat raw) - 4 pcs
Add eggs directly from the fridge (don't have to be room temperature)
Place them gently
Cover it right away
Set the timer 13 mins
Make sure the amount of water (room temp. and boiling) are both correct
1000cc boiling water
plus 300cc room temperature water
You can use tap water
This ratio ensures you a proper temperature for Onsen Eggs
Using eggs directly from the fridge is ok
Remember to use fresh and safe eggs that can be eaten raw (because egg whites will not be fully cooked)
and don't add too much eggs at a time
The maximum is 4 if using this amount of water
If you add too much eggs
cold eggs will let the temperature of water too low
which results in undesired doneness
After 13 mins
Place in ice cold water to stop cooking
If unsure, pick one to check the doneness
If there is transparent part in egg whites, it means cooking time is not long enough
Let remaining eggs stay in the pot for 1 or 2 more mins
Ok. The doneness is perfect
Egg yolk is a little coagulated, and egg white is cooked to medium doneness
Let's take out the remaining eggs to cool
You can eat Onsen Eggs with sauce
or put in the fridge (before peeling) for tomorrow
the shape will become set
