Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 gram een onion
  • 2 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/4 cup regular soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
  • 4 bag black tea
  • 2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder
  • 3 teaspoon whole star anise
  • 1 stick cinnamon

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Here's something that looks cool and tastes great! Make a double batch and keep the eggs in the refrigerator for snacking, just store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Dark soy sauce will give you a richer color and flavor, but using regular soy sauce will result in something just as delicious.

Serve these tasty treats numerous ways: add to a noodle bowl, garnish a salad, or simply snack on it at a picnic.

Place eggs in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a simmer.

Simmer for 10 minutes.

Drain; rinse eggs with cold water until cool enough to handle.

Gently tap each egg all over with a spoon until hairline cracks form over the entire shell.

Return eggs to pan.

Add remaining ingredients; add extra water, if necessary, to completely cover eggs.

Simmer, covered, over low heat for 15 minutes or for as long as 1 hour.

Remove pan from heat; let eggs cool in the liquid, then refrigerate (still in the liquid) overnight or for up to 1 week.

Just before serving, peel eggs and place in a serving bowl.
