CHINESE TEA LEAF EGGS

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 MARBLED EGGS

Fun to make and a nice addition to a Chinese meal, not just for decoration and they are always a talking point. The flavour is despite the spices not very strong--delicate is a better word. I like to serve them with the Chinese porridge/soup Congee.

Tips:

Use fresh eggs. Older eggs are more likely to crack when boiling.
Bring the eggs to room temperature before boiling. This will help prevent the shells from cracking.
Add salt to the boiling water. This will help the egg white to set more quickly.
Boil the eggs for the correct amount of time. Overcooked eggs will be dry and chalky.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath after boiling. This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
Peel the eggs under cold running water. This will help to loosen the shells.
If you are using the soy-balsamic mayonnaise, make sure to whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Serve the eggs immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Tea-marbled eggs with soy-balsamic mayonnaise are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. The eggs are boiled in tea, which gives them a beautiful marbled design. The soy-balsamic mayonnaise is a tangy and savory dipping sauce that perfectly complements the eggs. This recipe is sure to impress your guests at your next party or gathering.
