I love how simple and comforting this dish is. Sipo Egg is a minimalist recipe that focuses on the natural richness of eggs, gently cooked in water or broth until perfectly tender. I often make it when I want something warm, nourishing, and quick without needing many ingredients.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it is incredibly easy and requires only a few pantry staples. I like how the eggs stay soft and silky, with the yolk turning creamy if cooked just right. I also appreciate that it works as a light meal, a quick breakfast, or even a soothing dish when I want something gentle and satisfying.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
I start by pouring the water or chicken broth into a small saucepan and placing it over medium heat. Once the liquid begins to gently simmer, I add the salt and stir briefly. I carefully crack the eggs into the pan, making sure not to break the yolks. I let the eggs cook uncovered until the whites are set and the yolks reach the doneness I prefer. I remove the pan from the heat and serve the eggs immediately while they are warm and tender.
Servings And Timing
I usually make this recipe as a single serving, but it can easily be doubled or tripled. It takes about 5 minutes of preparation and 5 to 7 minutes of cooking time, depending on how soft I want the yolks.
Variations
I sometimes add a pinch of black pepper or a dash of soy sauce for extra flavor. When I want something more filling, I like to serve the eggs over warm rice or alongside toasted bread. I also enjoy using chicken broth instead of water to give the dish a deeper, savory taste.
Storage/Reheating
I find this recipe is best enjoyed fresh. If I do need to store leftovers, I keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. When reheating, I warm the eggs gently on the stovetop with a little water to prevent them from overcooking.
