How to poach an egg?

Fill a pot with water. After the water is boiled, add a teaspoon of white vinegar. Break an egg and put it in a bowl. Use a whisk or a spoon and stir the boiling water very quickly to form a whirlpool effect. Slide the egg into the middle of the whirlpool, the vortex, to make sure the egg white stays together to form an oval shape. One egg at a time. Cook for 5 minutes.
