It's real easy, they just have to steep in the sauce all day so it takes a while. It's well worth the wait though!
1. Hard boil eggs
5. Serve either warm or cold. I like them better warm.

Chinese Tea Egg
My little Asian market lady, Serena, used to make these at her store and I would buy them all of the time. The health department wouldn't let her do that anymore so I haven't had one in so long. I decided just to make my own.

I can't wait to try these! Another use for my star anise. I am Pho'ed out for a while. I have an Ox Tail coming in tomorrow, though.
OK so you hard boil the eggs first and then crack them a little and them steep them?
I'm phoed out too!! Yes, hard boil first! I kind of undercooked the eggs a little when I boiled them since they would be in the hot sauce for so long.
