Thai Soft Boiled Egg Recipe (Kai Luak)

Ingredients

• water (enough for boiling and cooling the eggs)
• 4 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1/4 white pepper (or to taste)
• 1-2 tsp Maggi seasoning sauce (or to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil the water in a medium saucepan. Make sure there's enough water to completely cover the eggs.

2. 2

   Cook the eggs. Turn off the heat, gently lower the eggs into the hot water, cover the pan, and let them sit: 6 minutes for very soft whites and a runny yolk. 8 minutes for soft whites and a runny yolk (recommended). 10 minutes for firmer whites with a jammy yolk.

3. 3

   Cool the eggs by immediately transferring them to a bowl of room-temperature water. Let them sit for about 1 minute to stop the cooking.

4. 4

   Serve by cracking the eggs into a small bowl or shot glass. Season with white pepper and a few drops of Maggi seasoning sauce to taste. Enjoy immediately.
