自製 卥水糖心蛋 Medium Rare Soft Boiled Egg Experiment Part 1

Today is the last day of my 6-days holiday.... :D So, my kitchen is yearning for some of my skilled cooking awesomeness. :D

Today's menu is 糖心蛋。

The hardest part, which is still very easy is to figure out how long to cook the egg to make it just right. :D

I usually boil my eggs about till it's dead, that's about 10 minutes... so to make it 1/2 dead, I figured maybe well.. 6 minutes after water is boiled..

But then after the first sacrifice, 6 minutes was good but a little too well done and because I waited till the water was boiled before I put the eggs in, the egg actually cracked open in the middle of the battle.

So the 2nd batch of egg went into the cold water and boiled for exactly 4:59 seconds after the water reached boiling state. I gave them a nice icy bath after the hot tub soak to stop the cooking process.

And it turned out just perfect!!!

Back row: the failed 1st batch.  Front Row: the successful batch!
And here's a video of what the texture feels like when it's wiggling. :D hahahah
