Instructions

  1. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs, then peel off the shells and set them aside.
  2. Heat the water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients (except the eggs) to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until the stock is reduced and infused with the aromas of the star anise, cinnamon, and spiced tea bag.
  3. Add the boiled eggs to the braising stock and let them steep for a few hours. You can lower the heat to a simmer if desired. For the best results, leave the eggs in the braising stock overnight to further develop the flavor.
  4. Dish out and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best results. Older eggs tend to peel more easily after boiling.
  • To easily peel the hard boiled eggs, shock them in ice water after boiling to help loosen the shells.
  • After adding the hard boiled eggs to the braising soy sauce stock, simmer gently over low heat to allow the flavors to penetrate the eggs evenly.
