Marbled Boiled Eggs

The other day I met a stranger and talked about my recipe website. The very first thing that the person asked me was the recipe for ‘Marbled Boiled Eggs’. I have tried Marbled Egg before and I didn’t enjoy it because it was over-cooked and the Egg Yolk was greyish colour.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 Eggs OR More

Eggs *You can add more Eggs as long as you can keep all Eggs in the marinade

300 ml

Water

Tea Bags

2 tablespoons

Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon

Sugar

1/2-1 teaspoon

Salt

Star Anise

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Make the Marinade. Remove the paper labels from Tea Bags, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan, cover with a lid, bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes, and set aside.

* Step 2

Meanwhile, make Boiled Eggs. I cooked the Eggs in the above photo in my ‘Water & Energy Saving Method’. (Cooked for 5 minutes and rested fo 5 minutes.) Cool the Eggs in cold water.

* Step 3

Make cracks all over the cooled Eggs. I used the back of a spoon. Place them in a tight fit container, and pour the Marinade. When cool enough, place in the fridge for overnight or longer. Today I left them for 1 & 1/2 days.

* Step 4

*Note: For darker coloured pattens, you need to boil the cracked Boiled Eggs in the marinade in the saucepan. If you boiled them in the marinade, Egg Yolk would be cooked more and might turn greyish colour. To avoid it, leave the Eggs in the cold Marinade for longer.
