✨TipCut through the white
🥄 How to
1
Crack the egg on a flat surface (an edge pushes shell into the egg)
2
Keep the chopsticks touching the bottom of the bowl and move them side to side
3
Mix so you cut through the egg white. Don’t whip in too much air
💡 Why do it this way
- When the white and yolk are well mixed, the color and setting are even
- Not whipping too much keeps it smooth
⚠️ Be careful
- Wash your hands after touching raw egg
- Use cracked eggs right away—don’t leave them sitting
- For small children, older people, anyone unwell or pregnant, cook eggs all the way through
