I tried making these last night for my Shanghai-born and bred husband-to-be as a surprise. He came into the kitchen while I was doing it and knew EXACTLY what I was cooking from the smell alone. He said they were very good and reminded him of home. Then he asked me to make them for his students (he teaches Chinese at an American University in the west) too!

It doesn't take that long to make, he just overdone everything. You can just cook the sauce separate while the egg is cooking. Then just cold rinse the egg, crack the eggs, and place them in the sauce and let it soak for an hour. This way of cooking doesn't create that weird green yolk coating.

Stet Tan True. And if you keep the eggs longer in the sauce and let it marinate, there will be even more flavour in the eggs. i would prefer to keep it in the sauce longer for even more flavour. Also, crack the eggs even more, let more of that delicious flavour seep into the egg :p

I am not fan of hard boiled eggs but my wife loves eggs anyway she can eat them. So I tried your recipe last night and now I love hard boiled tea eggs. I'm going to try the hot oil next. Great Job and fun time watching you!

Tea Eggs were originally a way for poorer families in Taiwan to get a just a handful of strong flavourful Tea Leaves, make that flavour go further and share it with a whole family.

When I was 14, my dad took me to Taiwan and he bought a tea egg from a local vender. Oh, my, my, I loved it. I also loved salty preserved duck eggs in mud.

At this point I'm just certain Mike has a genuine addiction to hot oil

I just made these and they turned out so yummy! The aroma is aromatic and earthy ❤️

I tried this recipe with lapsang souchong tea and smoked salt and it was great

I have never heard of tea eggs... but your enthusiasm for them has made up my mind. I'm gonna try this recipe.

I have made tea eggs several times. Both my husband and daughter love when I make them And each time I make it slightly different. I use every time the Chinese 5 Spice that my husband bought a bottle of. I will say that it is better to use quality tea over the cheap stuff. And about one tea bag per egg at least. Thanks for the idea of sugar. The recipe I found didn't use sugar. Thinking of using honey when I make them next time. As for the garlic, I mince it when I use it. I'm also thinking of a pinch or two of red peppers(scale 7 Scoville) next time as well. I boil them for two hours. Then I turn off the heat and let them soak for a day or two.

Black tea and red tea aren't the same. Black tea is the leaves from the tea plant (camellia sinensis) that have been oxidized for a long time to make the tea very strong and when steeped, the tea is a dark colour, hence the name. Black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and white tea actually are all made from the same plant, it's just that the leaves are oxidized for different amounts of time. Red tea, on the other hand, is actually made from a completely different plant. Another name for red tea is rooiboos tea.

Red tea is Camellia assamica, a subspecies of Camellia sinensis. Red Bush tea or Rooibos is from an African plant, not a Camellia.

For anyone wondering - red tea is not what he is referring to. he's using a black tea. "RED TEA" is rooibos, which is NOT made from the tea plant, they're actually a south african pine needle. Tea eggs are made from teas based on the camilla sinesis, which is black, green, pu-erh, and oolong.
