After Spring Equinox, we should give family more protein-rich food, affordable and nutritious eggs are the most popular food on the table, whether it's breakfast, Chinese meal, or dinner. Speaking of eggs, the most delicious way to eat eggs is boiled eggs. Boiling eggs are healthier and tastier than frying with oil.

Boiling a perfect egg seems very simple, but to make the egg white clear and without splashing and cracking, you still need to master several techniques. Many friends are always puzzled when boiling eggs: whether to put the eggs in after the water boils or when the water is about to boil. No matter which method you use, there are 2 steps that are indispensable. In the next article, Yuet will give you a detailed explanation.

After the egg is taken out of the egg tray, we first clean it. Because there are many bacteria and dust on the surface of the egg, just rinse it a few times in a water basin. Then drain the water, so as not to drop dirty things into the bowl or pot when cracking the egg.

Wash the wok clean and boil water, then pour in a certain amount of water and boil. Then turn the heat to medium heat. At this time, add a few drops of edible oil, a little salt and vinegar into the pot. Putting oil on the surface of the water can effectively prevent the egg from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add oil, salt and vinegarThis is a key step in making perfect boiled eggs.

Next, put the eggs into a small bowl, and then use a chopstick to quickly stir the water to form a whirlpool, and then pour the eggs into the pot. When the eggs sink to the bottom of the pot, they will rotate a few times with the whirlpool.

As the eggs rotate, they will turn out round shapes.

I also tried putting the eggs directly into the pot, but it was not as effective as putting them in a bowl in advance. Because when cracking the eggs, it's hard to control the time when our hands are cracking the eggs,

So the egg white will first drop into the water, which will cause the egg to deform when heated. Use a chopstick to stir the waterThis is a key step in making perfect boiled eggs.

Wait until the eggs are solidified in the pot and turn white, then turn the heat to high heat to boil, then turn it to medium heat, keep cooking until the eggs are completely cooked.

Next, Yuet will summarize the key points for making perfect boiled eggs in water:

1. How to boil eggs: should we wait for the water to boil before putting them in, or ignore whether the water is boiling?

The correct way to boil eggs is to wait for the water to boil, then turn the heat to small, and never turn off the heat before pouring in the eggs. If you turn off the heat and then pour in the eggs, the bottom of the pot will drop the temperature, and the eggs will easily stick to the bottom. Medium heat can provide continuous heat to effectively prevent the eggs from sticking to the pot.

2. How long should we cook water-boiled eggs for?

The cooking time of water-boiled eggs is also very important. We can't overcook the eggs, otherwise the egg yolks will be old, and we can't cook for too short a time, otherwise the egg yolks will be raw. The correct method is to cook the eggs in the pot for 2 minutes to solidify them, then open the heat to high heat for 1 minute to cook, then turn it to medium heat for 2 minutes. This makes the eggs round and tender.

3. Why do eggs stick to the bottom of the pot when boiling?

Eggs sticking to the bottom of the pot is because the bottom of the pot is not at a high temperature, so it is also important to turn off the heat without turning off the heat. Adding a little edible oil can also prevent the eggs from sticking to the pot.

4. When boiling eggs, why do white splashes appear?

Regarding this problem, when pouring water, we must add a lot of water, and the water level must completely cover the eggs. Adding a little salt and vinegar to the water can prevent splashes from appearing. Of course, you can also add sugar.

Finally, I'll share another way to boil eggs. First, place a large spoon on the fire and heat it up, then put the eggs into the spoon, and put them into boiling water until the eggs are solidified, then pour them into the pot and continue cooking for 2 minutes.

Boiled eggs are delicious when seasoned with sugar, rice wine, and a little egg soup. It's a perfect breakfast!

Some netizens also shared their own techniques: First, use boiling water to briefly scald the eggs, the purpose is to solidify the egg white, so that it is cracked into a non-foaming pot, the boiled eggs will be round.
