What You Will Need

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs

Sauce Mix

  • 2 black tea bags
  • ½ cup Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Premium Cooking Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. palm sugar
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ tsp. black peppercorns
  • 2 orange peels

How to make it

  1. Boil water and once boiled, add in the 6 eggs and hard boil for 10 minutes. Turn heat off and pull the eggs out and remove the water.
  2. Using a butter knife gently tap the egg shells to crack the shells a bit, do it all over but not too much. Do this for all 6 eggs, then place them back into the pot and cover with 2 inches of water.
  3. Add in the tea bags, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Premium Cooking Soy Sauce, palm sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, and orange peels. 
  4. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer for 2 hours. 
  5. Once the 2 hours is up, remove from heat. Place the eggs and liquids in the fridge and allow to soak as you desire. Note: the longer they absorb the liquid, the more flavor the eggs have.
