📖 Instructions
- First things first, give your eggs a good wash. It's always a good idea to start with clean eggs, and it's a small step that makes a big difference. Trust me on this one.
- Now, for the fun part! In a medium saucepan, gently add your water. Don't rush; you want to avoid splashing. Next, add the turmeric powder. Use a whisk to stir it until fully dissolved. You want a smooth, turmeric-infused water, not a murky mess.
- Once your turmeric water is nice and smooth, add your eggs carefully into the saucepan. It's important to make sure the eggs are fully submerged in the liquid to achieve that lovely golden hue.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Keep an eye on it--you don't want it boiling over (that is super annoying, I know). Once it boils, immediately turn the heat down low, and cover your saucepan.
- Now comes the most crucial part (you've almost made it!). Gently simmer the eggs for 6-8 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a timer to help ensure perfect eggs every time.
- After 6-8 minutes, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the saucepan and place them in a small bowl filled with ice water. This stops the cooking process and prevents that awful green ring around the yolk. Such a game changer!
- Once the eggs have completely cooled, peel them under cold running water. The shells should slip right off. If you find they’re stuck, gently tap them on a hard surface to create some cracks and try again.
- And there you have it! Your gorgeous, vibrant golden turmeric boiled eggs are ready to enjoy! You can add a pinch of salt, some fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of black pepper to really elevate the flavor.
📝 Notes
- For softer yolks, reduce simmering time to 6 minutes; for firmer yolks, increase to 8-10 minutes. Always use fresh turmeric powder for the best color and flavor. Don't use something old.
- Feel free to get creative with garnishes! A sprinkle of fresh parsley, chives, or a drizzle of olive oil can really elevate the presentation and taste!
