Perfectly Boiled Eggs in the Microwave
One-Pan Microwave Boiled Eggs: Your Go-To for When You Need Boiled Eggs in a Hurry!
Have you ever planned a meal like noodles, naengmyeon, or tteokbokki, only to realize at the last minute that you forgot to boil eggs? This microwave method is your lifesaver! It’s also incredibly useful if you’ve struggled to make poached eggs with other methods. Just remember, you can only do one egg at a time.
Ingredients- 1 Egg
- About 1/2 cup of water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Fill a cup generously with water. For the best shape and to prevent the egg white from overflowing, it’s ideal to use a tall cup with a narrow base. (The cup in the photo was close to overflowing!)
Step 2
Carefully crack the egg into the water in the cup. Set your microwave timer based on your desired doneness: about 1 minute for poached, 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes for soft-boiled, and around 2 minutes 30 seconds for hard-boiled.
Step 3
Around 2 minutes 30 seconds, the foam started to rise, so I took it out quickly!
Step 4
Carefully pour out the water from the cup, leaving the cooked egg behind.
Step 5
Cut the perfectly cooked egg in half.
Step 6
Look! A perfectly hard-boiled egg, success!
