How To Make Soft Boiled Eggs (Hanjuku Tamago)

Ingredients:

• Eggs (refrigerated)

Instructions:

1. Put water (enough to cover eggs) in a saucepan and bring the water to boil on medium heat.

2. Once boiling, take out the eggs from the refrigerator and gently put the eggs in the boiling water using a sieve or ladle.

3. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the egg for 6.5 minutes to be runny and for 9 minutes to be soft but mostly solidified (one you see in the picture).

4. (Optional) While cooking, gently rotate the eggs few times with a chopstick or spoon to make sure the location of egg yolk will stay in the middle.

5. When it's done, drain the water and soak the eggs in iced water for 3 minutes. Peel the shell gently. When the eggs are done on soft side, you need to be extra careful.

6. This egg is cooked for 6.5 minutes.
