I just had to have soft-boiled eggs, have been thinking about it for weeks. Nice, plump three-quarter boiled eggs, balanced with the aromatics of thick dark soya sauce and a dash of pepper.. hmmm…
But what is soft-boiled eggs without Kaya toast and teh-si? Totally incomplete. So, thus I embarked on “Mission: No Kaya, No Cry” (ala Bob Marley).
Ingredients :
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
150g sugar
250ml coconut milk
3-4 pandan leaves
1/2 tsp pandan paste (optional)
To do :
1. Blend eggs and yolks together.
2. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
3. Combine coconut milk and mix well.
4. Strain mixture.
5. Add pandan leaves and paste.
6. Cook over double-boiler, stirring constantly, till desired consistency.
7. Cool and bottle.
Estimated time from start to finish : 1 hour
Worth every minute you spend on it!
