Half Boiled Eggs to the Perfection

Well, I'm not sure if I need to post this as recipe because it does not have any recipe at all in fact. I love eggs, particularly fried eggs with some crispy bites at the sides. However, everybody can fry eggs easily because you can see how the skin turns out, the color, etc.

The tricky part is when we try to make half-boiled eggs. You can not find out whether the egg white has turned solid? is it overcooked? too runny? So, there is a way to reach out to perfect half-boiled eggs. Those runny yolks with pepper and soya sauce. slurp!

There is an easy way to make perfect half-boiled eggs. It is with this below magic helper. My mom used to have this and it works very well. Fail-proof kind.

















However, if you don't have this maker at home, I can share with you the traditional way of making half-boiled eggs to the perfection, at least my version. Mom's way!

1. Boiled water until you see all those bubbles!!



2. Turn off the stove, and put in eggs. Eggs should be in room temperatures.
I accidentally crack an egg. Please ignore those messy white

3. Now, it's time for JumpBeeMama's trick. Check out those bubbles coming up from the eggs. You will see row of bubble up (just like in champagne! cheers!). This bubble thing will last for around 6 minutes if your eggs are with room temperatures.
If your eggs are straight from the fridge, the whole time should be around 7.5 minutes.
When there is no more bubbles, or maybe a little....it's time to serve the eggs!
(Time varies depend on what eggs you use. I use kampung eggs (free range chicken) here)


4. Lastly, Serve it with a teaspoon of soya sauce and little pepper!!! High in Protein, easy to serve!















Enjoy!!!
