Cháyèdàn- Chinese Tea Eggs

Cháyèdàn- Chinese Tea Eggs


1. Put eggs in a medium-sized pot with enough water to cover the eggs.

2. Bring water to boil, then lower heat to simmer for 3 minutes.

3. Remove eggs from heat and allow them to cool a bit before handling(running them under cold water does the trick quickly.).

4. Take the back of a knife and crack eggs evenly all around.

5. Return eggs to the pot and add the rest of the ingredients.

6. Bring liquid to boil again, then simmer for 1 to 3 hours, longer for a more intense flavor and color, adding water if level gets too low.

7. Remove from heat, and serve as a snack or addition to rice or noodles.
