Doesn't TaZte Like Chicken

If rabbits can lay eggs, would their eggs look like this?

Okay, these are just hard-boiled chicken eggs – I know I can’t fool ya! They look cute, aren’t they? Kids would probably like them. These hard-boiled eggs were shaped in a rabbit mold, which my best friend L gave me as a souvenir from her trip to Taiwan. Asian cities are filled with these cute stuff. Every time I visit Asia I would discover something new. These egg molds are one of their latest hot items:

In addition to rabbits, these molds also come in Teddy bears, fishes etc, you get the idea. I wanted to have some fun for Easter and now besides painting or dying eggs, I can also make them into animal shapes. Thanks to you L

The steps of making these eggs are relatively simple. After the eggs have been cooked and while they are still warm, I remove the shells, put them into the molds, let the molds sit in a bowl of cold water and viola, they are now rabbits.

Happy Easter, everyone!

After I wrote the egg trio post, quite a few friends asked me for the recipe to make the over-easy fried egg.

Besides my husband, I have a brother who is also an egg freak. This is a recipe which he created when he was less than 10 years old. Yes, when my brother was still a kid, he would skillfully cook a perfect over-easy egg for himself as a snack. His recipe is almost always foolproof: the yolk is always runny and the best thing is only little oil is used for frying.

Since I bake from time to time, I always get 3 dozen eggs from Costco when my fridge is out of eggs.

In a pan, put in 1 tsp of oil. Heat the pan until the oil gets very hot.

When the oil is hot, crack in the egg. If you got the temperature of the oil right, then the egg will immediately sizzle. I love listening to the sizzling sound. It’s the best sound to wake up someone special in a weekend morning.

Closely watch the colour of the egg’s rim. Cook the egg until the edge just turns golden brown. As soon as the edge becomes golden brown, cover the pan and turn off the heat. Leave the egg covered for 1 minute. During this time, don’t touch the egg – don’t open the cover, don’t move the pan, don’t do anything!

After one minute, open the pan and using a wooden spoon, gently slide the egg from the pan onto the plate.

ET likes eggs ALOT. He’s the only person I know who would eat eggs after dinner; it’s like a dessert for him. He likes eggs prepared in almost any way. I’ve cooked eggs for him in many ways and the most time consuming recipe involves poaching an egg so that the yolk is just partly cooked, then the egg is dipped carefully into panko, and lastly deep fried. The panko gives the egg a nice crust and the yolk remains runny when you eat it.

The deep fried poach egg is fun to make only on days when I have nothing to do. I usually prepare eggs in the ordinary ways: soft boil, over-easy or scrambled.

The soft-boiled egg is drizzled with soy sauce, sesame oil and maggi sauce. This is how my husband always eats his eggs as he grows up.

The over-easy is eaten with ketchup and hot sauce.

The black truffle scrambled egg is scrambled with truffle sauce, then drizzled with truffle oil and truffle sauce.
