Soft-boiled eggs are the ideal egg dish in many people’s minds. The golden and smooth yolk flows out. Whether served with toast, placed on ramen, or added to salads, they are a satisfying and delicious dish. The secret to mastering soft-boiled eggs actually lies in "time" and "how to cook them."
Unlike hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs only need to be heated for a few minutes to allow the whites to solidify while the yolks remain thick and smooth. Although it may seem difficult to master at first glance, as long as you are familiar with the time and preparation steps, everyone can cook with perfect results.

Sally, a chef representing British Lion eggs, pointed out in an interview that the best way to cook perfect boiled eggs every time is to let the water in the pot boil before starting to lay eggs: "Use a spoon to gently put the eggs into the boiling water, and then reduce the heat to a slight boil to prevent the eggs from cracking in the water."
According to Sally's advice, 6 minutes is the key to creating an ideal runny egg yolk. She said: "If you want to cook perfect soft-boiled eggs, cook them for exactly 6 minutes. Then immediately put them in ice water to cool for a few minutes. This will not only stop the heating, but also make it easier to peel the eggs."
