3 eggs, at room temperature
Duration

Place a pot ¼ filled with water over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Place the steamer basket on top of the pot and gently place in your eggs. Cover with the lid and cook for 5 ½ minutes for soft eggs.
Remove the eggs using a slotted spoon and place them into ice water for 1 minute to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs carefully and serve with your dish of choice.
Using room temperature eggs speeds up the cooking time.
Soft-steamed eggs pair beautifully with noodle soups, grain bowls, and avocado toast.
