In Malaysia, a favourite breakfast item is a soft-boiled egg served in a bowl with soy sauce and white pepper. It’s also incredibly convenient, since you can make the eggs ahead of time and store them in their shells in the fridge. “Is this going to be raw?” they asked in surprise, as I blithely started to crack eggs over the cooked rice in their bowls.įortunately, the eggs were actually poached but it made me realize that this method of poaching eggs in their shells is quite unexpected and delightful to many people. A few days ago, we had some friends over for brunch and I decided to serve poached eggs on rice.
