Ingredients
Method
- If you're boiling multiple eggs, choose eggs of similar sizes. Pour water into a pot that is large enough to hold all the eggs at the bottom (there should be enough water to fully submerge all the eggs). Place the egg (or eggs) that has been washed in warm water into the pot. Bring to a boil. From the moment the water starts boiling, the egg should cook for 6-8 minutes (depending on size and the number of eggs being boiled). After the specified boiling time, remove from heat, carefully pour out the hot water, and replace with cold water to slightly cool the egg and stop the cooking process.
- Cool the egg, pat it dry, and peel it. Then transfer it to a plate or combine it with the other ingredients of your meal.
