Onsen Tamago (Softly Cooked Egg)

'Onsen Tamago' is a traditional Japanese low temperature egg which is originally slow-cooked in the water of ‘Onsen (hot springs)'. I cook ‘Onsen Tamago’ in the microwave. The result is similar to ‘Poached Egg’ but the yolk is cooked more than white just like ‘Onsen Tamago’. The best thing of this method is time. It takes less than one minute using my microwave.
