Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Vinegar and salt add. The vinegar causes the protein to coagulate more quickly. Reduce the heat so that the water only simmered slightly.
Beat the eggs one by one, put them in a cup and pour them into the hot water, one at a time, close to the edge.
If you want to get a compact form, proceed as follows:
Hold a ladle in the hot water. Put an egg in it. As soon as the egg begins to stagnate, slide the egg into the water.
The egg is ready when the egg white is solid all around. The egg yolk should still be runny. This takes about 5 minutes per egg.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon.
