This one is a FRIED egg, and if it doesn't have golden-brown edges, well, it's not fried.
A hard-boiled egg is basically the easiest thing you can make in a kitchen; all you need is a stove, a pot of water and a timer.
Still, there are some things you need to know. That green ring around the yolk? Yeah, that's an overcooked egg. Hard to peel? There's a trick for that.

Pile your scrambled eggs high and proud on a toasted kaiser roll or English muffin, top the eggs with a slice of *American Cheese*, some crispy bacon and too much hot sauce.

To me, it's kind of like if a fried egg and a hard boiled egg had a baby. So, yeah, it's the perfect food.

Cook store bought noodles as per usual. For the broth, use as much of the seasoning packet as you like (I use about half), then go ahead and add some soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and a splash of rice wine vinegar.

Boiled eggs are a convenient and affordable source of protein. With hard-boiled eggs on hand, you have the components of a satisfying breakfast, lunch, snack, appetizer, or dinner. So get cracking! 🙂


Ingredients : 6 large eggs, cold from the fridge, Cold water, Ice.
Equipment : Saucepan, Timer, Slotted spoon, Bowl.

INSTRUCTIONS.
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover the pan with a lid and bring water to a rolling boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time. Boil for 6 – 7 minutes over medium-high heat for perfect hard boiled eggs.

HOW LONG TO BOIL EGGS.
For soft-boiled eggs: 4 minutes.
For slightly soft-boiled eggs: 5 minutes.
For custardy yet firm soft-boiled eggs: 6 minutes.
For creamy hard-boiled eggs: 7 minutes.
For firm yet still creamy hard-boiled eggs: 8 minutes.
For very firm hard boiled eggs: 9 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a large bowl with ice cold water and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Or you can place them under cool running water to stop the cooking. This will also help the eggs peel easily.
Peel and serve the eggs immediately. You can sprinkle some paprika or chives on top. You can also make some delicious deviled eggs.

HOW LONG DO BOILED EGGS LAST.
Storage: Refrigerate any unused hard boiled eggs, still in their shells. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.

NOTES : EASY TO PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS.
Use older eggs (~ 1 week old). A few days older eggs are easier to peel.
Add 1/2 tsp salt to the water. Adding salt to the water may help make the eggs easier to peel.
Add 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Some people suggest to add baking soda to the water which increases the alkalinity of the water and makes the eggs easy to peel.
Add vinegar (if you are using farm fresh eggs). You can easily peel hard boiled eggs by adding a little bit of vinegar to the water which makes the shell softer.
Roll them on the counter. After you boil the eggs and you cool them in an ice cold water, roll them on the counter to remove the shell. It will fall off easily.

If you notice that some eggs are hard to peel, crack them all around without peeling them and place them under a little bit of running water or soak them in a bowl with water for a while. The water penetrates under the shell and makes them easier to peel.
HOW TO PREVENT YOUR EGGS FROM CRACKING.
Don’t place the cold eggs from the fridge in the hot water on the stove.
Place the eggs in cold water and then turn on the cooktop.
If an egg has a crack, you can add a little bit of vinegar to the pot. It will help to congeal the egg white if it starts to leak out from the shell.

how to easy make humitas

How to Easy Make Humitas. 

Humitas are a typical dish that come from various Latin American countries[1]. This corn-based recipe makes the most of its main ingredient, even using the cornhusks, and it's a great way to develop your culinary talent. In the following article, we'll show you how to make humitas that will surely wow your taste buds.





Ingredients.

5 ears of corn.

1 diced tomato.

1 finely chopped onion.

1 finely chopped red pepper.

1/2 cup milk.

1 tablespoon oil.

1/2 cup fresh cheese (optional).

1 pinch spicy paprika.

1 teaspoon basil.

Salt and pepper to taste.

1 teaspoon sugar (if you're making sweet humitas).

10 cornhusks (the leaves that surround the ear of corn).





Steps.



1. Make a corn puree. Peel the corn and set the cornhusks aside. Cut off the kernels and use them to make a puree.

You can use a grater to grate the corn by hand and thus make a puree.

Or you can put the kernels in a food processor and allow this device to turn them into a puree.



2. Season the puree. Put the mashed kernels in a bowl and add milk, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture for a few seconds until all of the ingredients are evenly mixed.

If you want to make sweet humitas, leave out the salt and add sugar in its place. Since the corn is already somewhat sweet, you don't need to add too much sugar to sweeten the mixture.



3. Sauté the rest of the ingredients[2]. In an oiled pan, sauté the onion and pepper. Once the onion becomes translucent, add the diced tomato and cook over low heat.

This mixture should be dry, so cook it over low heat until the juices have evaporated.



4. Prepare the humita filling. Add the sautéed ingredients to the corn puree. Stir well in order to create a creamy and uniform filling.



5. Fill the cornhusks. Place one husk on top of another, forming an X. In the center, place one and a half tablespoons of the filling.

Close the husks by making a small, firm packet so that the filling will not come out.

Tie the packet with the ends of the husks or with string.



6. Cook the humitas. In a pot, heat enough water to cook all of the humitas. Once the water has boiled, lower the heat and add the humitas one by one. Cook them for approximately 45 minutes.



7. Serve. When they are done cooking, remove the humitas and place them in a strainer. Let them rest for 5 minutes.

The humitas should be served warm, but not too hot, because your guests could burn themselves when opening the packet.





Tips.

The humita filling is delicious and can be used in a number of ways. For example, you can use it in empanadas, cannelloni, or even tarts.

You can give your humitas a special touch by adding different ingredients such as butter, green pepper, goat cheese, or anise. The only essential ingredients are corn, basil, and onion.
