Beer braised eggs

Overview

My kids don’t like boiled eggs, so I’m fine with that. I haven’t liked eggs since I was a child, although during my childhood, I seemed to only eat boiled eggs when I was sick or during the Dragon Boat Festival. Some time ago, my husband's friend sent me a box of ten kilograms of eggs. As my family can only bake cakes and fry a few dishes, my ability is really limited. I was casually flipping through a magazine at work that day, and saw a recipe for beer eggs introduced by a friend. I thought that I still had half a box of beer at home that was about to expire, so I decided to get rid of both of them together, haha. The braised eggs are rosy in color and the protein is very textured. The children ate three in a row and couldn't stop them. They were spoiled and over-nutritional!
