Cooking the Buckwheat

1. Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water. 2. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil (use a 2:1 water to buckwheat ratio). 3. Add the buckwheat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the groats are tender and the water has been absorbed. 4. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Poaching the Eggs

1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. 2. Crack each egg into a small cup or bowl. 3. Carefully slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. 4. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or a minute longer for a firmer yolk. 5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water, letting any excess water drip off.

Serving

Place the cooked buckwheat on a plate, top with the poached eggs, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
