You cool it in water first.
I will give the Heston boiled egg a go. I have been lazy recently and just do it in the InstantPot and usually turn out good as can loads lots of eggs in one go.
Need to perfect the poached egg technique though as never like I've had out.

Whack it in cold water for a couple mins, then roll the egg under your palm against the top, peels right off.

Peel from the bottom too, the air pocket makes it super easy.
Doh. Makes sense now. I guess dropping it into warm Ramen broth helps too. Had a brain fart and was thinking you have to keep it hot to serve!

Yup, what I do is on the weekend I would make my char shui pork and slice them as I want them in the week for dinner. I would make 3 eggs max at a time and then peel and marinade them for 24 hours (I find it gets too salty if its any longer).
The hot broth to place the sliced pork and egg in, its how they do it in Japan. In Japan they would put a blow torch to the meat sometimes, at home you can fry it on the pan if you like, or just put cold meat into hot broth to warm it up.
So basically, the only cooking is making the broth (which is reheating), and make the noodles. Everything else like spring onions, egg, meat and nori are all already done.

Forget all the egg talk, just look at that toad in the hole!
Simply glorious. Add a creamy mash, peas and thick onion gravy. Dinner for gods.

We had the mash and onion gravy with some broccoli, unfortunately no picture of it all together!

Gravy man, Gravy!
I can only imagine that being dry as Gandhi's flip flop. Needs Gravy.
Sausages in good positions though, aimed and ready in case of nuclear war.

Looks like someone's just been buried under a pile of mash and just his limbs are sticking through!

I forgot about the gravy! Still, it was great with ketchup.

Also rather disappointed with his choice of sweetcorn over peas. Merlin's a nice guy, but he's a had a bit of a mare there. Still, at least he hasn't used Richmond sausages (I hope).
