Chinese Tea Eggs - Upgraded

Hi we,

Chinese tea eggs are rich and delicious. They are a perfect no-carb salty snack and a great pre-made breakfast. 

The only problem is, the traditional version has a yolk that is tough as rock! 

The traditional method cooks the eggs in a thinner broth for hours to create the seasoned eggs. The eggs were cooked to death and the yolk tastes rubbery. 

I LOVE a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg. That's why I created this upgraded tea egg recipe. It shows you how to make tea eggs that have a perfect runny yolk (and the hard boiled version is also included, if you prefer!). 

The KEY is to marinate the cracked eggs in a more condensed marinade.

Instead of dilute the liquid with water, I made the condensed broth, then marinate the eggs in a Ziplock bag (so you don't need to use a whole bottle of soy sauce). Now you can cook the eggs to whatever degree you prefer, then have perfectly seasoned eggs whenever you like.

QUICK TIP: My reader reduced the leftover marinade on the stove and used it to glaze cooked fish. She said the result is perfect! 

Ready to make great tea eggs?
