Recipe from cookthink
The bright tartness of the lemon, chile spice and intense umami taste of the miso paste all provide beautiful counterpoints to the richness of the egg.

instructions
1. Put the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 5 minutes. Immediately drain them and immerse them in ice water for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine the tahini, miso, lemon juice, serrano and water in a small saucepan. Simmer gently over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking to dissolve the miso.
3. Carefully peel the eggs. Cut them in half and arrange them on a plate. Drizzle over the sauce and sprinkle over a few torn cilantro leaves.
