HOW TO MAKE THE RECIPE

Boiling eggs
1. Pour 3 cups water to a pot. Gently place the rinsed eggs and boil on a medium heat. Cover the pot & boil until
you see cracks on the eggs. Turn off the stove and rest the eggs for 10 mins. Discard the water & keep the
eggs immersed in cold water to cool down.
2. Then remove the shell. Pierce with a fork randomly to make some gashes. This helps the eggs to absorb the
flavors.
