Japanese Softboiled Eggs

I have no idea how these are made, but it's incredible. You crack it like a normal raw egg, but out slides a softboiled egg.

they boil the eggs for like 2 minutes in your ramen, so its puuurfectly cooked

[jasonyeh]

no that can't be it. there has to be some sort of japanese trickery going on. You crack the egg like it's a raw egg and the softboiled egg just comes sliding off. No peeling of the shell at all... watch the video again.

@jasonyeh living in japan for 7 years now and still haven't figured that out. you get the answer yet?

[jasonyeh]

@pmharl ha still haven't gotten the answer. read through all the comments here and you realize people don't get it b/c they haven't experienced it themselves.

ask a native to ask someone at the restaurant next time you're at a ramen spot..i think they'll tell you they get it sent to them from a factory like that. crazy shit. if you do get a real answer, post back here. thanks.

Dude, I'm eating the same thing right now with Ramen.

Get the water to a roiling boil and let the noodles soften. Once they're soft, lower the heat to a medium. Dump two eggs in and just let it sit i.e. don't stir it!

It'll cook with the yolk intact. After all that, then put the flavor packet in.

[jasonyeh]

yeah man, i'm pretty sure that's not all it is. Look at my video and see how i crack the egg. it gets cracked like it's a cold raw egg and a perfectly consolidated softboiled egg comes out...

This is how they do it.

@jasonyeh the eggs are put into a basket then into a pan which it floats on, with a thermometre..when at a particular temp, (the correct temo escapes me) the basket is spun clockwise and anticlockwise, this allows the white to separate from the membrane, hence you can remove the whole egg as you would a raw egg

Boil an egg in 60 degree (celcius) water for 20 minutes.

WITCH CRAFT!

[misskateellis]

i'm pretty sure they boil the water first, then put the eggs in while the water is off the heat and let it cool down. i saw it on a cookingwithdog recipe.

Here are a couple different methods to make "onsen tamago." The first video the powder she adds is potato starch and she puts them in water for 15 minutes. The second one takes longer and says you have to cool them for an hour. The two methods produce slightly different textures of egg, but they look good!

@lexo30 165 degrees fahrenheit kills any and all harmful bacteria, water boils at 212 that is the NSF's (National Sanitaion Foundation) code, I have to take the save serve coarse every 2 years, yes washing your food before cooking is a good idea but boiling water kills ANYthing that could harm you

[lexo30]

A word of caution. Do not boil eggs in a liquid that you plan to consume, unless you wash the egg very carefully beforehand. Most eggshells carry traces of chicken shit and bacteria, and these are not necessarily cleansed and eradicated by boiling. If you've washed the egg so that it's squeaky clean - fine. Otherwise, you run the risk of serious illness. The inside of the egg is fine, it's the outside that's potentially hazardous.

FYI, the egg is boiled for about 6 mins, then dump it in ice cold water for 10mins. after 10mins, add some vinegar to the water and viola. OISHI !

[EzeeSKANKIN]

Could be several different ways. Either they bake the egg whole in the shell at a low temperature (150 deg. F.) for a few hours and it turns out like this

or

Just soft boil the egg in the shell and it will be this texture

[eriquerique]

I get these in Japan all the time. They put these magical soft boiled eggs everywhere. On a gyudon, ramen, even spaghetti bolognaise! It's mind-blowingly delicious! I'm pretty sure they call it "onsen tamago" - there are recipes for it everywhere over the internet but I haven't tried making them yet. But I'm sure it's not some alien technology and everyone can make it! LOL. As the name suggest, it's not technically cooked over fire, just soaked in very hot water (like in an onsen)...
