Onsen Tamago with Daishi Kaeshi Sauce (hot spring egg) 温泉蛋 + 昆布魚湯

温泉蛋Hot Spring Egg and 溏心蛋Marinated soft-boiled egg are two different things. Onsen Tamago 温泉蛋 is cooked yolk with not fully cooked egg white. And 溏心蛋 is fully cooked egg white with half cooked yolk. Poached Egg is similar but it cooked with the shell. And it needs to be serve immediately after cooked. Onsen Tamago and Marinated Soft-boil egg can be store in refrigerator and can be served on the next day with shell on!


Recipe for Onsen Tamago:
You need: candy thermometer and oven proof saucepan. Eggs and pre-heated oven.
Recipe for 3 eggs. More time needs for more eggs cooked at one time.

1. Preheat oven to 68℃ (155°F).
2. Use a good oven proof saucepan. Put eggs to saucepan and cover with cold water. Turn on heat to medium.
3. Use candy thermometer. Once water reach 68-70℃ (~155°F), remove saucepan from heat and transfer to preheated oven immediately.
4. Bake for around 20-25mins (longer if you cook more eggs at one time). Transfer eggs to cold bath.
5. Serve eggs with chopped green onion and/or seaweed and daishi kaeshi sauce.

(if you do not have an oven that can be set to temperature to 155°F. Turn off heat once the temperature reach 155°F. Cover saucepan and let it soak in hot water for 20 minutes. I tried this the 1st time. The egg white is too watery and the appearance does not look good. But the overall taste and quality of yolk is acceptable. )
