Result
This is an extremely easy dish to prepare, however I was disappointed at the taste of the finished product. It tasted exactly like boiled egg. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just thought that the ingredients would give it a different taste.
Unless I’m wrong, it seems that the marbled effect is actually only for effect.
