When the water is slightly boiling, break up the eggs and put them in the pot, and cook for 5-8 minutes on low heat. If you like to eat half-cooked eggs, you can cook them for about 5 minutes. If you like to eat fully cooked eggs, you need to cook them for about 8 minutes. When boiling poached eggs, be sure to put them in hot water for a long time, so as not to affect the taste of the eggs.
