4. Add chili and salt to the oil. And we also simmer for about 3 minutes. We remove from the fire.
5. Now let’s prepare poached eggs.
   Bring water in a saucepan to a boil (I have 2 liters). The water should not boil vigorously, just enough to keep it hot, with a few small bubbles.
6. Add salt and vinegar to the water.
7. Break the egg into a fine strainer. I do this in order to glass the most liquid part of the protein.
8. Using a spoon, swirl the water in the pan into a vortex.
9. Carefully pour the egg into the formed whirlpool.
