Ingredients · 1 serving

  • 1Egg, very fresh
  • 2 tbspWhite vinegar, 10% acidity
  • 1 LWater

Equipment

stovetop, saucepan, measuring spoon, small cup, slotted spoon, clean cloth, spoon, timer, serving plate

Instructions

  1. Prepare Station

    Gather the egg, vinegar, and water; set out a saucepan, measuring spoon, small cup, slotted spoon, and clean cloth. · 3 min

    What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools within reach.

  2. Simmer Vinegar Water

    Heat 1000 ml water with 30 ml white vinegar in a saucepan until it reaches a gentle simmer with small bubbles, not a rolling boil. · 6 min

    What to look for: Small bubbles rise steadily, but the surface is not violently boiling.

  3. Create Whirlpool

    Stir the simmering water in 1 steady circle with a spoon to form a clear whirlpool at the center of the pan. · 1 min

    What to look for: The water spins gently with a visible center funnel.

  4. Slide Egg

    Crack the very fresh egg into a small cup, then slide it gently into the center of the whirlpool so the white wraps around the yolk. · 1 min

    What to look for: The egg white begins to gather around the yolk instead of spreading widely.

  5. Poach Egg

    Poach the egg for 2.5-3 minutes at a gentle simmer until the white looks fully set and the yolk still feels soft. · 3 min

    What to look for: The white is opaque and firm, while the yolk remains rounded and delicate.

  6. Drain Egg

    Lift the egg with a slotted spoon, drain it on a clean cloth for 15 seconds, and blot away excess water without breaking the yolk. · 1 min

    What to look for: The egg looks neat, glossy, and no longer drips water.

  7. Serve Immediately

    Serve immediately while the white is tender and the yolk is runny, with no delay so the classic texture is preserved. · 1 min

    What to look for: The egg holds its pouch shape and the yolk stays fluid inside.
