  Re: (...)


Note that the machine I had has only 7 marks of thickness adjustment.
1 to 7. 1 is the thinness and 7 is the thickness. Depending on the brand of machine you had, please adjust it according.

Gina, is that a raw egg in that bowl? Moving on...These don't overcook this way? What is the purpose of blanching before cooking?

the egg looks uncooked..but actually its like your sunny side egg you cook for breakfast.
Blanching helps to cook it, soften it and not over cooking it. so when you cook it finally with soup, it can absorb the flavours of the soup.
