I used to boil the egg for 20 mins or so when we were in Bahamas. Eversince I start cooking at home, I wonder do I really need so long to boil a small egg? So did some quick research online and the next morning I tried this new method I learnt.
Instructions:
1. Put the raw egg in a pot.
2. Fill the pot with water till the water is (approx.) 3 cm above the egg.
3. Put the pot on the stove and turn on the fire. (medium fire will do)
4. When the water is boiling, leave it boiling for 1 min.
5. Turn off the fire after a min. and put the pot aside for another 20 mins.
6. After 20 mins or so (longer than that is fine), pour the warm water away and transfer the egg to a small bowl and fill with room temperater water. Some people said this is to prevent the egg white turning chewy. To me, it seem to be easier to peel off the egg shell.
7. The egg is ready to be peeled and served.
This way it could save me 19 mins of gas and do not need to worry that I forgot to turn off the fire.
