Tea Eggs - Cha Yip Dahn Recipe
Yield: 12 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
6 each: Eggs,
1 tbsp: Salt,
4 cup: Water,
1 tbsp: Five spice powder,
3 tbsp: Tea leaves,
Directions:
Put eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring slowly to the boil,
stirring gently (this helps to centre the yolks). Simmer gently for 7
minutes. Cool eggs thoroughly under cold running water for 5 minutes.
Lightly crack each egg shell by rolling on a hard surface. Shell should be
cracked all over, but do not remove.
Bring 4 cups water to the boil, add tea leaves, salt and five spice powder.
Add cracked eggs. Simmer, covered, for approximately 30 minutes or until
shells turn brown. Let eggs stand in covered pan for 30 minutes longer
(overnight if possible).
Drain, cool and shell. The whites of eggs will have a marbled pattern on
them. Cut into quarters and serve with a dipping sauce.
