Homemade Hillbilly Eggs

Overview

Make your own hillbilly eggs. The color may not look very good when photographed on your mobile phone, but they are definitely delicious.

Wash the eggs, put water in the pot, add the washed eggs, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook the eggs.
Ingredients to prepare: half a bowl of dark soy sauce, appropriate amount of green onion, ginger and garlic, tangerine peel, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. (The amount of this ingredient is not fixed, it depends on your own taste.)
Spread the onion, ginger, garlic, tangerine peel, peppercorns, and star anise on the bottom of the pot. I get overly oily sometimes.
Roll the peeled eggs in the soy sauce bowl and put them into the pot. Finally, pour the soy sauce into the pot and add water. The amount of water should cover the eggs.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat, take out the eggs, put them on a plate for a while, and let them cool. Put appropriate amount of rock sugar in the pot. (The role of rock sugar is to color it.)
Add the eggs. If there is less water, add water. If the taste is too strong, add salt. Cut the eggs into small slits with a knife and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
