If you've ever been to Japan (which more and more of you have been lucky enough to do!) - you may have visited an \"Onsen\" - hot spring bath.
Imagine notionally teaming that idea up with the idea of poaching eggs! What?! I can just picture the eggs luxuriating in the hot spring with a teeny tiny towel balanced on their foreheads...
One of my favourite resources for Japanese cooking is Just One Cookbook and they have a great way of doing eggs that is SO EASY! (And if you're interested, the author, Namiko, also has the old-fashioned version here if perhaps you don't have a microwave.)
