Hot Spring Egg in Microwave
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp noodle dipping sauce
Wasabi paste
In a small ramekin, crack an egg. Add water. Cover it with a plastic wrap. Microwave it (600W) for 40 seconds. Reheat for another 10 seconds. Reheat again for another 10 seconds. Keep adding 10 seconds until desired doneness. I microwaved mine for a total of 60 seconds. Take a big spoon and carefully drain the water by tipping the ramekin. Make sure to discard as much water at this point if you don't want a watery hot spring egg!

| Don't forget to add water. |

| Waiting.... |
 |
| After 40 seconds. Try another 10 seconds. |
Let me tell you. It worked! It tasted just like the hot spring eggs I made in Ontama-gokko, which is a set-it-and-forget-it device I use, and it takes 20 minutes to make. I can make them now in about a minute. Love it!

The microwave version is not as pretty as the one made in Ontama-gokko. The egg white is not contained in a small egg shell, so it tends to spread out more. But the consistency is just about right. If I have the patience to wait for 20 minutes, I would still use Ontama-gokko, otherwise, I'd go with the microwave.
