Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the eggs, put them in cold water and cook them over high heat.

   

2. 2 Take out the eggs and soak them in cold water for 2 minutes. Soaking the eggs in cold water will make them easier to peel. Peel all the eggs clean and put them in the refrigerator for 3 hours. The purpose of refrigerating the eggs is to allow the protein in the eggs to shrink, and then boil them to make the eggs more chewy.

   

3. 3 Heat the pot dry, pour in 3 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, and bring to a slow boil over low heat.

   

4. 4 Add peppercorns, aniseed, bay leaves and cinnamon to the dark soy sauce and stir-fry until fragrant.

   

5. 5 Pour in the refrigerated eggs and flip them to coat all sides with dark soy sauce.

   

6. 6 Pour cold water into the pot and boil over high heat for 5 minutes, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remember to turn over in the middle so that only one side is colored and the other side is not tasty.

   

7. 7 When it boils over high heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of very fresh soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. The soy sauce is for freshness, and the brown sugar with eggs is very nourishing, suitable for all ages.

   

8. 8 The eggs are already cooked. Let them simmer for 10 minutes while they are still hot. The eggs will be more flavorful.

   

9. 9 Braised eggs can be eaten with noodles or porridge. They are very delicious and cleaner than those bought outside.
