Just wondering: do you film multiple videos in one day, then edit them later? Or just one at a time? Have you ever done a "making of..." or "behind the scenes" video showing how you do these videos?

This is very intriguing. I saw the video from Xiaoyang Cuisine, and I wondered what it would taste like! Thanks for doing a taste test. She has such creative recipes. For the scrambled eggs, I suspect they have a different texture due to the vinegar. This undoubtedly helps the eggs stay together in the water, but it changes the texture to a more spongy quality. If it were me, I'd take a gamble on cooking them in a smaller amount of water, without vinegar, and see how it goes. Some people use vinegar when poaching eggs because it helps the egg hold together better in the boiling water, but it changes the texture and flavor of the egg, so I never use it. There are various other ways to achieve the same effect for poached eggs without using vinegar, and then you can have the lovely, pure poached egg at the end which is magnificent! Thanks for your great videos!

I just learned you can cook a good hard boiled egg in an air fryer with no water. Try 250-270 degrees at 15 minutes from a cold start, or less for a softer egg. Much easier than boiling in water and no clean up.

Thank you for showing this recipe! I always made my scrambled eggs this way for my grandma for years because she can’t handle oils due to IBS. Whenever I told people about substituting oil with water, people thought I was crazy or weird.

I prefer my eggs buttery instead of spongy but I'm totally trying the sauce! Maybe just over rice by itself

This is almost like poaching an egg in a boiling water bath, complete with the vinegar. Dad, who learned this from his father, poached eggs all the time, made me scrambled eggs this way as well, but used half-n-half when whisking the eggs. It's still something I do to this day, and now my daughter says I make the best scrambled eggs. So this simple thing is passed down one more generation.

Best scrambled eggs I had was in a hotel. I asked the, how on earth they made them like that. Something like half a pint of double cream for every 6 eggs, basically a heart attack on a plate…….but it was the most luscious scrambled eggs I have ever had in 50+ years.

I put water in my eggs before I scramble them... this same exact thing happens when they are done. the water separates out. it makes them nice and fluffy.

WOW! When you say "Very finely chopped" carrots and celery you REALLY mean it! Those things look like tiny pieces of confetti or Nerds candy!

[MsPsych]

I was wondering whether or not they would taste like the eggs you get at a hotel breakfast. I think they reconstitute them with water as well. I will have to try this one too. Thanks for always being so wonderful and creating such great content for us beautiful lovelies❤️!! Almost to 3 million 🤩

Great! And the timing is perfect! I’ve been watching other videos lately of the same thing to see what ideas I can take away. And also trying to perfect a method of getting just the right consistency for my own scrambled eggs. Thanks for this!

My grandma's best friend was Dutch. I knew her for my entire life until she passed away. I started cleaning house for her when I was 17 & she was 80. (She lived to be 92) She also cooked her eggs in water. She used a really small pot & would sometimes flavor her water with different herbs, she would strain the flavored water before adding the eggs. My favourite was the Dill flavor! She would often insist I eat before I cleaned. I miss her unusual foods and sweetness.

Your videos calm my anxiety. Thank you for that, I love your videos!

I tried this today and it came out great! I never would have thought of this but it’s super easy and makes cleaning the pan way easier. The eggs do end up with a bit of liquid on them but they’re nice and fluffy and the water makes them hot all the way through and they don’t cook off really fast like eggs often do. I’ll definitely be doing this again!

I love your videos! I always find out about something I didn't know!

As a kid I'd microwave scrambled eggs. If you whisk them with milk they stay very fluffy and the eggs puff up in the microwave with lots of little air bubbles. There's residual moisture to drain off that looks identical to these water scrambled eggs but there's less cleanup because you can do it all in one bowl.

It comes out in an omelette essentially, that you can chop into smaller pieces or you can make it a little more like normal scrambled eggs by stopping to stir occasionally.

How crazy is it that I was just thinking yesterday afternoon, "I need to look up a recipe for really fluffy scrambled eggs for this weekend". Good looking out! 😁

These are Water Fried eggs... When a real chef used to get his pleats in his "Chef hat", Water fried eggs is pretty deep into the list. Its tricky, but honestly delicious style. Cant believe you havent done this yet emmy, I see your videos for many, many years. made in Japan !

[mobileTuck]

I see videos of different recipes and cooking methods, but you always make it seem easier and I understand your procedure.
