Healthy boiled eggs recipe

Boiled eggs, also known as hard-boiled eggs, are one of the most common ways to eat eggs. Eggs are boiled in water until fully cooked. Boiled eggs are rich in nutrients with high absorption rates, making them a popular choice for breakfast. They are nutritious, delicious, and beneficial for overall health.

Mastering a few tips can make boiled eggs soft and tender, with the yolk creamy like tofu and the shell easy to peel. Here are some tips for boiling eggs that I'd like to share with everyone. If you enjoy eating them, take a quick lesson—you'll find boiling eggs is easier than you think.

1.Why boil eggs?

Boiling eggs involves cooking eggs in water until they are fully cooked. Eating boiled eggs regularly can effectively enhance satiety and prevent hunger. Additionally, boiled eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which can help replenish protein in the body when consumed appropriately. This is beneficial for maintaining overall health and enhancing muscle strength.

2.How to Boil Eggs?

The basic steps for boiling eggs include washing the eggs, preparing water, optionally adding a small amount of salt and white vinegar, heating the water to a simmer, controlling the cooking time, and cooling and peeling the eggs afterward.

3.How long does it take to boil an egg?

①Cold water method: If you want hard-boiled eggs, boil for approximately 7-9 minutes. For medium-boiled eggs, boil for about 4-6 minutes. For soft-boiled eggs with a runny yolk, boil for approximately 3 minutes.

②Hot water method: If you want a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk, boil in hot water for 5-6 minutes. For a creamy texture, boil for about 7-8 minutes. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can boil for 10 minutes or longer.

③Steaming method: Steam the eggs in a steamer for about 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, or 6-8 minutes for medium-boiled eggs.

4.How to store boiled eggs?

①Cold storage: Store boiled eggs in the refrigerator's cold storage compartment, where the temperature typically ranges from 0 to 4°C.

②Freezing storage: If you won't be consuming them within a short period, wrap the boiled eggs in plastic wrap and store them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator.

5.How to peel eggs quickly?

①The "middle crack" method: After obtaining a boiled egg, lightly crack open a small hole in the middle. Then, hold it gently in your hand and roll it lightly on the table in a circular motion. This will create fine spiderweb-like cracks from the center to the edges of the eggshell. Simply peel the eggshell gently, and all the shell pieces will come off along with the membrane, leaving a perfectly clean boiled egg.

②The "crack both ends" method: First, make a small crack at the narrow end of the egg and a larger one at the wider end. Be gentle to avoid breaking the egg white. Blow gently into the small crack end, and the egg will pop out from the larger crack end. In just a few seconds, the egg will be peeled and ready to eat.

③Shake method: If you find individually peeling eggs time-consuming, you can peel them in batches using the shake method. First, prepare a container like a food storage box and place the eggs inside. Pour in enough cold water to cover the eggs. Then, tightly close the lid and start shaking the container. The eggs will bump into each other, but the water inside will cushion them, causing the eggshells to crack and loosen. After shaking, most of the eggshells should have come off along with the water movement.

Today I will share a healthy way to boil eggs. Unlike ordinary boiled eggs, this method may be a bit more complex, but the results will definitely impress you. Let's make it together!
