Chinese Tea Leaf Eggs Recipe | Allrecipes image

One of my favorite dishes when I head back home; it combines hard-boiled eggs with the subtle flavor of anise and the deep brown hues of black tea and soy. The cracked patterns from the broken shells make these quite attractive! I eat these sliced in quarters and chilled as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Recipe courtesy of Mom.

TEA EGGS RECIPE - SIMPLE CHINESE FOOD
The tea eggs on the roadside can be described as one of the most pyrotechnic foods. After a hundred years, they have witnessed historical changes. There used to be a tea egg seller at almost every station. The eggs have been boiling in the pot, steaming hot, and a faint fragrance of tea is floating in the air. Regardless of how easy it is to make tea eggs, there are actually some tricks. The choice of tea, the timing of cooking, and how to make the eggs easy to peel and not stick to the shell, and the color and luster are all these tips.
