Poached Eggs

Ingredients :

  • 2-4 eggs
  • water, for boiling
(Cooking Measurements)

Cooking Procedures :

  1. Fill a medium bowl with iced water.  Set aside.
  2. Fill a large wide saucepan with water and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and bring to a good simmer.  Make sure there is at least 6 inches of water for the eggs to poach.  There may be some eggs that fall apart, so it is best to do a few extra here.  Take each egg and lay it in your hand on a towel.  With a knife, cut off the thick end of the shell, making a large enough hole for the egg and yolk to come out of.  Then, pour the eggs carefully into the simmering water (or break an egg at a time into a small heatproof bowl; gently tip the bowl into the water and letting the egg slip into the simmering water).  Repeat with remaining eggs.
  3. It should take about 2 to 3 minutes to cook, until the whites becomes opaque and are set but the yolks are still runny.  Carefully remove egg with a slotted spoon and plunge them into iced water to stop cooking.
  4. Trim edges with a small knife or scissors to create a uniform shape.  Transfer to a serving dish.

Fish Fritters

I used to eat this kind of filipino recipe dish way back home. I was delighted when I found this fish in an Asian Store. They called it silver fish (a product from China). It was packed frozen and weighed 500gms per package. It’s very simple and easy to cook with this dish. You can even substitute it with any seafoodyou like. It can be crabmeat or tagonton (small-sized shrimps) and with that you can have[...]
