How to make Soft Boiled Egg

A soft boiled egg is an egg with a custard-like egg white and a yolk that is warm and runny.  It requires only water to cook, the technique, however, needs some time to experiment and practice.

In my experience, the cooking time for a soft boiled egg can vary.  It depends on the thickness and the material of the pot, the style of the stove, or even the hardness of the egg shell.  Generally, the cooking time is within 4 minutes 30 seconds to 6 minutes over medium-high heat.

This recipe will illustrate the process of making the eggs in a small batch of one to three eggs. If you need to add more eggs, a longer cooking time will also be needed.

Red Wine & Farm Beet Marmalade | 紅菜頭甜醬

Marmalade is a type of sweet preserve similar to jam or jelly.  Other than the traditional marmalades that are made of citrus, vegetables that have sweet notes, like onion, tomato, or beet, are also getting popular in the marmalade world.  Spread it on your toast or cracker as a change for the jam and I am sure you will love it.
