These are beautiful and delicious. The other recipe on the site for these eggs added 3 cups water, so I added some water so the eggs would be more covered. I didn't have Chinese rock sugar, so I put in a little granulated sugar. I should have used black soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce, but they were still good and not too salty at all.

Very good recipe. My girlfriend and I have made tea eggs twice now and kind of merged this and the other recipe from this site. The first batch was a bit too salty, but this new batch is fantastic!

I make something very similar to this. I don't use ginger only because I don't like it but everything else is pretty much the same. I do also use the star anise in mine (one or two is more than enough!!!). It's a great snack on the side of your rice and main dish. I also like them cold and could eat them all day. If you like boiled eggs, you'll love this! The longer you cook them, the more penetrated the eggs will be!
