Brilio.net - Boiled eggs are often a mainstay in various types of food, from simple breakfasts to more complex dishes such as salads, noodles, or fried rice. In addition to being practical and nutritious, boiled eggs can also add delicious flavor and texture to various dishes. It is no wonder that many people choose it as a complement to everyday food.
Unfortunately, not all boiled eggs have a pleasant aroma. Sometimes, boiled eggs actually give off a fishy smell that is quite disturbing, especially when mixed into certain dishes. This aroma can make food less appetizing and even reduce the pleasure when eaten.
The fishy smell of boiled eggs can be caused by several factors, such as the freshness of the eggs, how to boil them, and the storage process after they are cooked. If not processed properly, boiled eggs can smell even more pungent. Therefore, it is important to know how to cook and store boiled eggs properly so that they remain delicious without any disturbing aroma.
Well, to remove the smell and fishy taste of boiled eggs , you can use the technique used by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted that she did not use water to make boiled eggs. Yup! Instead of boiling them, she steamed the eggs.
But to get rid of the fishy smell, she uses two kitchen ingredients. As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Monday (3/2), the kitchen ingredients in question are salt and banana leaves. In addition to eliminating the fishy smell, salt is also useful for making the eggs taste even more savory and salty.

Now, for how to make it further, prepare the eggs first. Then tap both ends of the egg with a spoon. This is done to make the egg shell easier to peel when it is cooked later.

Next, take a banana leaf and put the egg in it. Before wrapping, put 1 tbsp of salt into the banana leaf. Then, wrap the egg until it is really tight.
Once done, arrange the wrapped eggs into a steamer pan. After that, steam the eggs until they are perfectly cooked for a few minutes. Then, turn off the stove and take the eggs. Now, you can open the banana leaf wrapper, then peel the boiled eggs that are cooked. That way, the boiled eggs are ready to eat.
Since it was uploaded on January 8, the video about the trick of making boiled eggs has been watched more than 177 thousand times. Who would have thought, many other Instagram users then gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of these netizens admitted that they had just found out about the trick.
