Onsen Tamago means ‘hot spring egg’ in Japanese. A low temperature method of poaching eggs in their shells. Traditionally cooked in natural thermal springs. The egg texture is unique with the white resembling a delicate custard and the yolk is slightly firm with a creamy texture. The Spring water is about 70c, times vary and the egg is served in a Bonito Dashi. I’ve adjusted the temperature to 64c which after an hour (to 90 mins) produces a perfect poached egg, with a delicate but firm white and a creamy, custardy yolk. Cook it perfectly and the egg resembles a tear drop.
