Ingredients
  

For the veggies

  • 3 large leaves Cavolo Nero cabbage or any dark leafy green, finely shredded
  • 2 sweet red peppers finely cut
  • 2 medium carrot julienne cut
  • 1 large courgette zucchini, julienne cut

For the dressing

  • 2 TBSP tamari or soy sauce for a non-gluten-free version
  • 4 TBSP tahini
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 TBSP coconut cream

For the soft-boiled eggs

  • 6 eggs 3 per serving

Toppings

  • Sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Soft Boiled Eggs

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower your eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 6 minutes for the perfect soft-boiled egg.
  • While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice.
  • Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer them immediately to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Leave them in the ice bath for a few minutes.
  • Peel the eggs carefully and set them aside. When ready to serve, slice each egg in half to reveal the rich, runny yolk inside.

Prepare the Veggies

  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded Cavolo Nero cabbage, finely cut red peppers, julienne carrots, and courgette. Toss them together to mix evenly.

Make the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, tahini, lemon juice, and coconut cream until smooth and creamy.

Toss and Serve

  • Pour the dressing over the prepared veggies and toss to coat evenly. You can do this step ahead of time and let the veggies marinate in the dressing for a little while, or you can serve right away.
  • Place the veggie mixture on a plate or in a bowl. Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and arrange them on top of the veggies.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a final touch of crunch and flavour.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

    Notes

    This dish can be served at room temperature, making it a great option for meal prep. The balance of creamy dressing, crunchy vegetables, and the rich, velvety soft-boiled egg will surely delight your taste buds.
    A Few Tips for Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs
    To get that runny yolk just right, timing is key. A 6-minute boil is perfect for achieving that luscious, slightly gooey centre. The ice bath immediately after boiling helps to stop the cooking process, ensuring your eggs remain perfectly soft inside. Be sure to peel them gently to preserve the delicate egg whites.
