For The Love Of Food: How To Make Golden Eggs


A golden egg is just something different from the regular boiled egg that has the egg-white part and the yolk inside it. It's different just because the albumen and yolk were thoroughly mixed up before cooking and so it ends up yellow (or golden according to the Japanese) - yeah, that simple! Golden eggs are particularly good for picky eaters, especially children who either won't eat egg yolk or egg-white. Now, they will eat it all! This is how you make a golden egg:


All you need to make a Golden egg is: 
a raw egg 
one leg of socks/stockings

Slip the egg into the stockings and place it half way between the toe and the opening.

Now we scramble! Grab the ends of the nylons, one end in each hand, with the egg suspended in the middle. Begin to twist the nylon around the egg, about 20-25 twists. When it is fully twisted, pull the ends of the nylon apart quickly. The nylon should untwist itself, spinning the egg rapidly.

To check if your egg is properly scrambled, go to a dark room and shine a flashlight through your egg. An unscrambled egg will appear bright and yellow, and you may even see a shadow inside cast by the (still intact) yolk. A properly scrambled egg will be a much darker red color, since the yolk is now mixed with the albumen. 

Put the eggs in a pot of lukewarm water until they are just covered. Boil for 6 minutes and then turn off the heat and soak in cold water to stop the cooking (and keep your hands safe).

Golden eggs are usually more difficult to peel than regular ones. To prevent the egg from peeling off with the shell, use the back of a spoon to gently break the shell into small pieces, and then peel it while submerged in a pot of cold water.
