Instructions

Boil water in a pot using high heat. When the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs. Immediately turn the stove off, cover the pot and let the eggs cook for 7 minutes (8 minutes if taken straight from the refrigerator). The result should be a soft, but not runny yolk.
Alternatively: Use an egg cooker to cook the eggs. The yolk should be soft, but not runny.
In the meantime, cut the spring onions into thin slices and chop the parsley.
After the cook time, take the eggs out of the water and let them cool. You can use cold water to speed up the process.
Cut the eggs into dices and place them in a bowl. Add the spring onions. Then, add the chili flakes and salt and pepper. Mix the egg salad.
Optional: garnish the egg salad with parsley.
