Hot Spring Eggs Made from Frozen Eggs

I've been hearing about how tasty frozen eggs are. No, you don't eat them frozen: some people simply thaw them and eat just the yolk. Some people fry them. But I wanted to make hot springs eggs from them. This is my new way of cooking hot springs eggs now because it's so easy to do. 

The yolk is firmer and not runny. Freezing makes the yolk richer in taste.


Hot Spring Eggs Made from Frozen Eggs
(For two people)
2 eggs 
1 Tbsp noodle dipping sauce
Wasabi, optional

In a Ziploc bag, place eggs and freeze them for at least one full day. The shells may get cracked, but that's ok. In a medium sauce pan, bring water to boil, and gently drop the eggs. Cook them in the boiling water for 1 to 1.5 minutes, and take them off the heat. Leave them for 5 minutes in the hot water with a lid on. Move them in cold water for a few minutes. Crack them in a small bowl and serve with noodle dipping sauce and wasabi on top.

Frozen eggs. They are cracked. Make sure to use a Ziploc bag.
Enough water to immerse the eggs completely.
Wait for 5 minutes off the heat.
Cool it in water
Hot spring egg!

The egg yolk was firm and rich in flavor. The white came out a bit runny for my taste, but I can boil it just a little longer the next time. I like this method of making the hot spring eggs. It takes out the painstaking process of measuring the precise time and the temperatures during cooking.
