- Tea egg 茶叶蛋 (a type of soy sauce egg 卤蛋 ) is a popular snack among the Chinese community. You will find street food vendors selling tea egg in the electric rice cooker, Hainanese chicken rice stores served it as a side dish, and Chinese medicine shop adds some medicinal herbs to the braising liquid for its health-boosting property.
I have made some Tea Eggs 茶叶蛋 today.
The aroma of the tea and all the spices feel up the kitchen and drifting into the dining room. It is so tempting to eat them right away but restrain myself to let them steep in the flavoring liquid 卤水 overnight was a challenge :)

Looks yummy... can I use "lukpou" chinese tea?? please advise... thank you
Sure 六堡茶 should be fine.
Well done KP, maybe show us a simplified method for century eggs.
I will keep that in mind for the recipe development.
How long may I store the eggs? Do I store them inside or outside the liquid? Thanks in advance :)
If I can't finish eating the eggs, I will keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can keep them in the liquid, but remove them after two days, or else the eggs will become too salty.
@@TasteofAsianFood Thank you :) I will try them :D
