 Medium-Boiled Eggs


Medium-boiled eggs have a slightly firm white and a creamy, slightly runny yolk. They are perfect for salads, ramen, or just as a snack. Here's how to make them:


Ingredients:

  • Eggs (as many as desired)
  • Water
  • Ice (for an ice bath)
  • Salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Eggs:

    • Bring the eggs to room temperature. You can do this by letting them sit out for about 10-15 minutes. This helps prevent the eggs from cracking when they are added to boiling water.
  2. Boil the Water:

    • Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
    • Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
    • Optionally, you can add a pinch of salt to the water. This can help prevent the eggs from cracking and make them easier to peel.
  3. Cook the Eggs:

    • Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water.
    • Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil.
    • Cook the eggs for exactly 7-8 minutes. The timing is crucial to achieving the perfect medium-boiled consistency.
  4. Prepare an Ice Bath:

    • While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
    • This will be used to cool the eggs quickly and stop the cooking process.
  5. Cool the Eggs:

    • Once the cooking time is up, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.
    • Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for about 5-10 minutes to cool completely. This makes peeling easier and ensures the yolk stays creamy.
  6. Peel the Eggs:

    • Tap the cooled eggs gently on a hard surface to crack the shell.
    • Roll the eggs between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel it off, starting from the wider end where there is usually an air pocket.
  7. Serve:

    • Slice the eggs in half or quarters and serve as desired. Medium-boiled eggs are great in salads, ramen, or simply with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Consistency: The size of the eggs and altitude can slightly affect cooking times. It might take a couple of tries to find the perfect timing for your specific conditions.
  • Peeling: Older eggs tend to peel more easily than very fresh eggs. If you have trouble peeling the eggs, try using eggs that are a week or two old.
  • Serving: Medium-boiled eggs are versatile and can be used in various dishes. They add a rich, creamy texture to salads, grain bowls, and soups.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked medium-boiled eggs!
