Someone give the poor clueless American a hint, what the heck are coddled eggs? How do you make them?

I love eggs in any way (I’ve ignored that stupid “eggs are bad for you” think for ages, butter is also NOT bad for you. Think about it, it melts at room temp. Margarine on the other hand? Does not melt at body temperature, so……what exactly is it doing in your body? solidifying most likely. Hydrogenated veggie oil is bad for you)

My current egg obsession is miso marinated boiled eggs. Boil your eggs, peel them, mix a few tablespoons of miso with some maple syrup or honey (I know, sounds funky, but is so good!) put a glob of marinade on saran wrap, drop the peeled egg on it, wrap it up good an tight so that there is marinade all around the egg. Put in the fridge for a couple days, then pull out and gently wipe of marinade. Slice up egg (you will find the marinade makes it a lovely golden colour all throughout) and serve over rice or in soup or a a bento or whatever.

Well, your technique worked for me – thanks :)

I’ve always toyed with the idea of getting an egg coddler – meant to give a similar result, I think …

[...] at home is accurate temperature control (just as with sous vide in general). One tip I found was to place the egg on top of rice that has just cooked in a rice cooker. Leave the eggs to “cook” for about one hour while the “keep [...]

Kevlars – Woah, how could I have missed that! They do it in HK? The only ‘raw’ egg dish I’ve ever heard of was the one where it’s a raw egg in a sugared water drink? I think I may have to try this water in a bowl method and see how it turns out.

This looks excellent!

Back home the local coffee-shops do a soft-boiled egg breakfast too. Methodology’s v. simple – two room-temperature eggs in a bowl, cover in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Crack into a flat dish, add dark soya sauce + white pepper to taste. You should have a whole yolk, set but still very runny on the inside, and a soft cloud of white about it. Some people mash the eggs up, I usually try to pop the entire yolks whole – which is why I truly feel your pain that the yolk fell on the table.

Can’t compare it to the onsen tamago ’cause… I’ve never had one. :/

Hi Amy! Are you kidding? The one I saw on your blog looked so inviting I just had to make it (even though it was only one of many delicous looking dishes in the photo)! I have to admit I never considered taking that precaution of pouring in the sauce after the egg… which makes a ton of sense. I guess I was lucky that my egg turned out alright the first time :D

I agree with the fresh rice thing… alas, the things we have to do for a good onsen tamago!
