JAKARTA - Soft, creamy oralic eggs are usually made using additional butter or milk. However, it turns out that there are other ways to make chicken creamy eggs without butter or milk.

Tips for making orak-arik creamy eggs without milk or butter are shared by Chef James via the Fork and Twist blog, quoted from the Mirror, on Sunday, January 26, 2025. To make the eggs he doesn't use pans like most recipes, but with pots and bowls.

Chef James utilizes hot steam from the water boiled in a pot to make orak-arik creamy eggs. Eggs are cooked with boiling water vapor slowly.

"This is the secret, steam and time. Put the heat-resistant bowl on top of the pan with boiling water as high as 4 cm and the eggs in the bowl slowly," said James.

James' technique is similar to melting chocolate by teamed on the stove. However, cooking eggs is important to use hotter than usual water.

In the process of cooking eggs, this is done by moving slowly until it becomes thick, soft, and orak-rik. The method that James shares is successful for three eggs in one cook.

During cooking, make sure the bowl contains eggs that do not touch the surface of the water in the pot. It is also important to note that the water boils slowly, not turbulent when cooking eggs.

James said that his way of cooking orak-arik creamy eggs took a long time and extra attention. However, this method is very useful for them on a diet but they want to eat chicken creamy eggs, because they don't use milk or butter that can increase weight.

"This needs a big enough attention towards the end. Don't leave the eggs unsupervised because it's likely to make them too mature," concluded Chef James.
