Are Raw Eggs Safe To Eat?

You will learn about why raw eggs are safe to eat in Japan as well as popular Japanese dishes that consist of them. The first dish was "tamagokakegohan" which literally translates to an egg over rice. The second one was a bit of a fancy breakfast with natto (fermented soybeans), green onions, and sesame seeds.
DO NOT consume a raw egg if it is not recommended in your country.

I would very much eat raw egg if I knew sickness wasn't a concern. Opens up more possible food experiences and I live for that

I got salmonella once, don't know how. After the pain I experienced, I will never eat a raw egg.

They say the salmonella is on the shell of the egg. Japan sanitises and clean their eggs with highest quality control and thats why it is safe to eat raw eggs in Japan (before expiry date I guess) I think even South Korea eats raw eggs too. I am neither Japanese nor Korean but I love them too! I thought it would be delicious and decided to try while I was in Japan some years back, boy I was not disappointed! 😋

if it was safe in the US, then yes, i would try it over white rice! ❤😊

Depends where you are. In Japan yeah it’s fine, in America no.

You could also just poach whole eggs and make something like Onsen Tamago. Or marinade yolks in soy sauce and mirin for couple hours or more, to overnight, for a creamy savory jelly-like yolk.

I mean, I've licked the spoon after mixing in a raw egg with box brownie mix and that's never gotten me sick... but a whole raw egg straight up, I don't think I would eat. Closest you'll get from me is semi-cooked with a slightly runny center but I just don't really like the taste of eggs in general unless it's in a cake recipe

as a Japanese, I didn't know foreigners don't eat raw egg until I'm 18

When you eat nato do you use the mustard packet?

In the US, you can pasteurize them with a sous vide machine. It takes some time, but it makes it safe to eat them raw.

[Rose-peuu]

really all that you need to do to safely consume raw eggs is to make sure they're pasteurized. you can buy them already pasteurized or do the process yourself if you have the equipment and know how, but failing that you can just partially cook the egg by soft boiling it. of course soft boiling it makes some recipes not possible but its the safest way if you cant find pasteurized eggs in your area or are incapable of pasteurizing them yourself.

Don’t forget to wash egg shell with something strong (at least with dish soap or soda) before cracking an egg! I’ve heard most of salmonella lives on the shell.

Here in Spain too, it's pretty commom to make home made mayonnaise

[back_space-rq]

is it necessary to wash the eggs before consuming them raw ?

[RedHotUzumaki]

I've had raw egg over rice, sometimes ill mix it in with some instant ramen depending on the ramen or instant korean bbq flavored yakisoba. There are some brands out here in the us i learned my lesson from eating other brands outside of eggland eggs

[laylabeiruti]

i recently just tasted natto, it's one of those dishes that you have to get used to, but it's good!

[toanluong]

if the egg are clean in the right way and the chiken are fed with un parasited food, their egg will be safe and edible even if you eat it raw

[TheNuggztr]

Whoever likes Caesar Salad should like raw egg because that the base of the dressing.

[miss_girl]

[Mike_Roberty]

I eat raw eggs over rice basically every other day here in america.
