PERFECT SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Immerse in the boiling water and boil for exactly 5 minutes.
• Dash in cold water, crack & enjoy.

SOFT BOILED EGGS WITH SALTINES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully lower the eggs into the water. Once water boils again, boil the eggs for approximately 3 1/2 minutes. (The eggs should be slightly runny but not hard-boiled.)
• Drain. Use a clean towel to handle the eggs and gently tap in half. Scoop out the egg using a spoon and place into a small bowl. Repeat.
• For each soft-boiled egg serving, I would guess that we used about 3-4 saltines. If you wish you can lightly butter the saltines, in which case you would break the crackers up with a knife. For unbuttered saltines, crush the saltine crackers lightly with your hands and place in the bowl with the shelled eggs.
• Using a fork, mix well; breaking up the eggs into small pieces. Season to taste with cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

SOFT HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs a large saucepan and cover them with cool tap water. Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the saucepan and immediately place them in a bowl of cold water until they are completely cool.
• Remove the shells, slice each egg in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

EGG IN A CUP

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add eggs, and cook for 3 minutes. The yolks need to be runny. While the eggs cook, crush the crackers into two coffee mugs with the butter. When the eggs are done, remove from the water, and peel. Place one soft-boiled egg into each cup. Mix into the crackers, and season with salt and pepper.

MARTHA'S SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Fill the pan with cold water, covering eggs by an inch. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove eggs from water. Serve immediately in egg cups -- perfect for cracking and scooping the egg right from the shell. Season with salt and pepper.

SOFT HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place water into a 3-quart saucepan with a lid. Place over high heat and bring to a low boil. Carefully place the eggs in the water. Cover pan immediately, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for 9 1/2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool eggs down with cold running water, tipping out the water, and continuing to run cold water over the eggs until they are cool.

GOLDEN NOODLE SOUP WITH SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and carefully lower in the eggs using the slotted spoon. Set a timer for 7 mins if you like your eggs a little runny in the middle, or 8 mins for a set yolk. Have a bowl of cold water nearby. When the timer beeps, scoop the eggs from the hot water using your spoon and plunge them into the cold water. Set aside to cool.
• Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to come halfway up the side of the pan. Bring the water to the boil over a high heat, reduce the heat, then lower in the noodles and season the water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 5 mins, or until just cooked - test one noodle to see if it's done. Drain the noodles and drizzle over 1 tbsp oil while they're in the colander. Toss the oil through the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.
• Peel the garlic cloves and crush them to a paste using a garlic crusher.
• Pour the remaining 1 tbsp oil into the medium saucepan (no need to wash it first), and turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 1 min until sizzling, then add the turmeric and stir for another 30 secs.
• Add the stock, coconut milk, soy sauce and sugar to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and bubble, for 2 mins.
• Cut the sugar snap peas in half on an angle, then drop them into the hot soup and cook for 1 min. Thinly slice the spring onions.
• Divide the noodles between four shallow bowls. Use a ladle to spoon over the hot soup and sugar snap peas. Carefully peel the eggs, then cut them in half and serve 2 halves on top of each serving of noodles, before scattering with the spring onions and coriander.
