茶葉蛋 Tea Boiled Egg
Ingredient:
2 Black tea tea bags
2 Oolong tea tea bags
20 Eggs
Soy sauce
1 table spoon 冰糖 crystal sugar
2~3 八角 Star anise (a kind of Chinese spices, again, you can find it in almost all Chinatown supermarkets)
Of course, 20 eggs is a large amount so simply proportionate your ingredients~
1. Boil your eggs for 20 mins, doesn't have to be well done as it will be cooked later.
2. Crack your eggs but don't peal the shell off. Tea boiled eggs are iconic for keeping the shells while cooking. Crack it once on the bottom of the egg, twice on the sides. This is sufficient and PLEASE don't over do this step.
3. Then put eggs and all the ingredients into the pot, make sure all eggs are covered with liquid, if not, add water.
4. Bring the pot to boil and let it boil with medium heat for 20 mins.
5. After 20 mins, let it cool to the temperature you can withstand your hand inside.
6. Boil the pot for 20 mins again. This repeated heating and cooling improves the egg's texture, so follow it precisely~
7. Now you can eat one and try~ it would be more delicious if you keep the eggs inside the soup for it to slowly absorb the flavour and colour. but it's already delicious enough to enjoy~
ENJOY~
