Soft Boiled Egg in Microwave: Cooked in 6 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Stir the 1 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp baking soda into the 1 cup filtered water inside your microwave safe mug.
2. Gently place the 2 large cold eggs into the water. Ensure they are fully covered by at least a centimeter of liquid.
3. Microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes until the water is steaming but not vigorously boiling.
4. Cook for another 2 minutes at 50% power until tiny bubbles form on the egg shells. Note: 50% power is critical to prevent the yolk from overheating too fast.
5. Let the mug sit inside the microwave (undisturbed) for 1 minute until carryover heat finishes the whites.
6. Carefully remove the mug and transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water.
7. Leave them in the ice bath for 2 minutes until the shells feel cold to the touch.
8. Tap the fat end of the egg first where the air pocket sits.
9. Remove the shell under the water or a slow running tap.
10. Slice in half and season with an extra pinch of salt or cracked pepper.
