Healthy and Delicious Salad Recipe Using AlToran’s Onsen Eggs

While originally presented alongside a hearty beef hot pot stew, the Onsen Eggs, with their distinctively soft and custardy texture, elevate this salad to something truly special. Follow this detailed guide to easily make your own Onsen Eggs at home and assemble a delightful salad with fresh ingredients.
Making the Onsen Eggs- 5 cups water
- 4 fresh eggs
Assembling the Onsen Egg Salad- 3 large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 3 Tbsp homemade yogurt
- 2 Tbsp balsamic dressing
- 2 prepared Onsen Eggs
- 3 large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 3 Tbsp homemade yogurt
- 2 Tbsp balsamic dressing
- 2 prepared Onsen Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the Onsen Eggs: First, pour 3 cups of water into a pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling vigorously, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of cold water. (This step helps to gently cook the eggs without cracking them).
Step 2
Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for 10 minutes. If your pot is on the thinner side, you might need to wait about 12 minutes. After the time is up, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool for another 10 minutes. This process results in wonderfully tender Onsen Eggs, offering a texture between a soft-boiled egg and a perfectly poached egg.
Step 3
2. Assemble the Onsen Egg Salad: Wash the fresh lettuce leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and then tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the prepared lettuce attractively on a serving plate. Gently place the 2 prepared Onsen Eggs on top of the lettuce. (Handle them with care to avoid breaking the delicate yolks).
Step 4
Finally, generously drizzle 3 tablespoons of your homemade yogurt over the eggs, followed by 2 tablespoons of balsamic dressing for an added touch of flavor. Your beautiful and healthy Onsen Egg Salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
