Thank you Skipper.

I love those osenbe - rice crackers too and I can usually finish them very quickly.

Osenbe Rick Cracker, another spelling is Senbei Rice Crackers (Googled).

Senbei – Big Round Japanese Rice Crackers (I call them soy bean rice crackers)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senbei

Arare- Smaller in size Japanese Rice Crackers ( call them soy bean rice crackers)

the Osenbe/Senbei rice crackers I had were extremely hard and not sweet... and soooo gooooood! The ones with the black seeds were a new variation for me.

The black seeds are black sesame seeds - nutritious. Glad you like them Skipper!

Beautiful composition - much too pretty to eat. Nice contrast of color and texture, really sets off the pork. Wish I had a plate!

Here is another ramen I made several days ago. This one is miso ramen using Hawaiian style chashiu pork, green onion, and boiled egg. Classic style ramen found all over Japan esp in Hokkaido area where miso ramen is popular.

This soup looks sooooo gooood, and if served in a restaurant and after eating I would give a big tip!

Anyway, my question is the semi-cooked egg, half raw. Ever since we have been more aware of salmonella in food, I am reluctant to make eggs that are not fully cooked. So I don't make any longer "sunny side up eggs," pouched eggs or when added to my congee/jook of rice a raw semi-cooked egg. And for cooking I would substitute using Egg Beaters or other brands of eggs in a carton. Further, I think the salmonella is in the white part of the egg? (not sure) so then the egg in your soup would be acceptable.

From what I understand salmonella is more common in the Eastern states. Have you heard that too? I won't eat raw egg, but I like scrambled eggs loose and not hard cooked...do not like hard, rubbery overcooked eggs. When I make fried eggs, I cook my eggs mostly done, but again not all the way done. This applies to boiled eggs as well. For Japanese style boiled eggs, it's much less done than hard cooked western style eggs. Normally I cook eggs 8 min for using in salads, etc, but for this style of eggs, it's 5.5 min. White are perfectly cooked through and yellow still soft.

Hello,

I decided to do a little Googling.... on this subject. Lightly cook eggs is not good and salmonella can be in both the yoke or white part of an egg; http://www.cdc.gov/features/salmonellaeggs/ this URL gives suggestions for using eggs in cooking and refrigeration. Aside-in England they do not refrigerate eggs and keep fresh bought eggs on the shelf for about two weeks.

I will use eggs in Egg Drop Soup and I do like to have a semi-cook egg in my Congee/Jook. Also, if I have to cook using eggs, I often get the pasteurized eggs in a containers.

Very interesting reading. Japanese consumers in the US buy eggs imported from New Zealand because this problem is very small there. As you know, there are Japanese who love using raw eggs in their diet. Like adding to sukiyaki sauce. Very common. I think this may be common in Korea as well.

Interesting reading... and the Japanese US consumers buy New Zealand eggs.
