A big chef teaches you the authentic recipe for tea eggs, 3 minutes to learn, fragrant and flavorful, better than what you buy!
Ingredients needed for tea eggs: eggs, tea leaves, scallion segments, ginger slices, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, dried red chili, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce
Specific steps:
1. Tea eggs can be made in batches, I usually make a seven-day batch, the longer it's fermented, the more flavorful it will be. First, wash the eggs thoroughly, wash them several times, and brush the eggshells with a brush. Because we are boiling eggs with the shell, we must wash them thoroughly.
2. Add water to the pot, put in the eggs, when boiling eggs, cold water is recommended, so the eggshells are easy to peel, and it’s easy to peel. If the eggshells are difficult to peel, it's likely because of the wrong boiling method. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat for about 6-8 minutes. Then immediately transfer them to another pot and use a spoon to crack the eggshells. With the cracked shells, the eggs will be more flavorful. Many people ignore this step, which is why the eggs are not flavorful and not tasty.
3. Add the prepared seasonings, pour in water to cover the eggs, add half a bowl of light soy sauce, half a bowl of dark soy sauce, two tablespoons of salt, and stir until the water turns a bright red-black color. You must add enough dark soy sauce, otherwise the eggs will not color well. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat.
4. After the pot opens, reduce the heat to a small flame and simmer for about 30 minutes. The tea eggs will be fragrant and the eggs will turn a coffee color. You can then turn off the heat. Tea eggs are ready! Isn't it super simple? Just cooked tea eggs haven't fermented properly. Put the eggs and the broth into a basin, seal the basin mouth with plastic wrap, and marinate overnight. This will make the eggs full of flavor and fragrant. Delicious tea eggs are finally complete. Whether eaten hot or cold, they are delicious and flavorful. It’s very satisfying. Try it now.
Peeling one to see that the eggshells are very easy to peel, the eggs are full of flavor, I can't stop eating two, it's so delicious that I can't stop putting it in my mouth. A family of three eats eight eggs at one meal. The combination of tea fragrance and egg fragrance plus a little saltiness is even more delicious than eating big fish and big meat.
