Just Pour the Egg into Boiling Water! This Easy Trick Changed My Kitchen Forever

par

  • 1–2 fresh eggs

  • 2 cups boiling water

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional add-ins:

    • Finely chopped garlic or green onions

    • A splash of soy sauce or olive oil

    • Spinach or shredded cabbage

    • Cooked rice or noodles

    • Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill

How to Make It

  1. Boil the Water
    In a small pot, bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt or seasoning if desired.

  2. Beat the Egg
    Crack your egg(s) into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until the yolk and white are well combined.

  3. Pour Gently
    Reduce the heat slightly so the water is at a gentle boil. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the water in a thin stream, stirring gently in a circular motion with a fork or chopstick. You’ll see the egg cook instantly into soft, silky strands.

  4. Add Extras (Optional)
    Now’s your chance to customize: toss in chopped greens, pre-cooked rice, a splash of soy sauce, or garlic for an extra layer of flavor.

  5. Serve Hot
    Pour into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy it as a light soup, egg bowl, or side dish.
