Hot Spring Eggs (Onsen Tamago)

[ Prep Time: 5 min | Cooking Time: 60 min | Serving: 6 ]

Onsen Tamago means hot spring eggs in Japanese. Traditionally it is prepared by slowly cooking the eggs in the hot spring water to create silky egg whites and custard-like yolk. With the use of an immersion circulator or sous-vide machine, it is very easy to prepare this at home with excellent consistency!

  • 6 Tbsp Water

  • 1½ Tbsp Light Soy Sauce
