Authentic Chinese Tea Egg Recipe (With Methods to Reuse the Brine)

[@RenghisKhan]

I always watch Mandy's videos to the end, I don't want to miss the 'byyyeee' 😊

[@ray_mck]

I just made this! The brine is cooling now in prep to refrigerate them for 24 hours. As a note: boiling tea egg brine -- Don't breate this! 😁 I used a small pot to fit 3 eggs, and I had to stir often to get the eggs completely covered. While standing at the stove, I choked and coughed a lot!

[@ray_mck]

I couldn't wait to taste! It's only been 23 hours, lol. These are SOO good! I tried to make tea eggs years ago, but I wasn't given all the information and they just tasted like eggs with brown streaks. I freestyled a little even before trying Mandy's recipe verbatim - I added a cracked black cardamom pod, and a little piece of preserved tangerine peel to the brine. Maybe they brought a little something to the complex flavor.

I was in Taiwan recently and the hotel breakfast buffet had these eggs. They were so delicious and was happy to find Mandy has a recipe online. I've learned a lot from these videos. Thanks

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸 I’ve been searching on how to make tea eggs. My grandma used to make this during Holy Week. This is Perfect for the Holy Week.

[@susieangelo6410]

Hi Mandy, thanks for all the helpful tips. I remembered while on vacation in Taiwan, the street vendors who sold these type of Tea Eggs, always had long queues of people of young and old patiently waiting to purchase them. 💜

[@coolenaam]

Interesting recipe, I love eggs. Thanks for making the audio louder Mandy!

[@tktyga77]

I have to say that Chinese cooking sure has a pretty large variety of egg based dishes including a large one of boiled egg ones, tea eggs sure are tasty

[@WithGoodIntention]

Thank you for detailed recipes on your videos! I just love how you continue to put them in your videos instead of making us go to website for exact measurements. You are a blessing to people like me that are interested in learning new recipes. Thanks again! Bless you! Stay safe and healthy 🙏

[@wisegaylareayl]

This will take my regular salads to a whole new level & egg salads too❤. Thanks for sharing

[@Joe_Montfort]

Good idea!

[@GothicPotato2]

Looks great! As an added bonus, if you want the eggs to look perfect after you've boiled them, use pasteurized eggs. You should be able to buy them at your local grocery store, but they're also very easy to do at home.

[@sarakatharina2928]

I will have to try this. I love Ramen eggs so I assume I will like the tea eggs as well. Thank you Mandy for all your great explanations

[@loriki8766]

I've been following a slightly different recipe using the 5 spice powder and completely peeling the eggs. Thanks for showing us how to get the pattern!

[@LuckyTondi]

I love tea eggs - thanks for explaining the traditional ones. I was always wondering why the eggs at 7/11 are a little dry, haha

[@Yomama_burn]

This brought me back to my childhood. Tea eggs were one of the first recipes I ever made.❤ Thanks Mandy!

[@ladybug8580]

Mandy, what are you serving with the eggs at 5:53? Lap cheong and okra?! It looks so good - maybe in the future you can share the recipe :)

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Yes, soon.

[@DianeC.]

Hi Mindy!!! I never heard of these eggs. They sure do look yummy. Would be good for Easter!!! Thanks for another wonderful recipe...Happy Easter!!! Nice Video!!!...🦋

[@welcometosusansmukbang9215]

Good video 👍💯❤️ If you are having hard time to peel eggs.....you should boil the water first then put eggs in. It's a secret 🤫

[@spencerkieft6021]

I've never heard it called American Saffron. AKA safflower it gives the color but not the petrichor flavor. Since the flower petals are used they are more plentiful and therefore a tiny fraction of the cost of saffron (crocus sativus)

[@PoseyKusinera]

You're the BEST. Amazing channel you have. I have a request! I've been lately discovering the fermented bean curd, and well, I'm kind of in love with its unique umami flavour. I've been seeing some recipes but I would love to see more from you using it. Also, I've been very happy lately because I live in a little city of Spain and in the two local chinese stores we have they have been bringing a lot of cool stuff like veggies (like yu cai and mustard greens) , the fermented tofu and much more. Now I can cook more stuff! Thank you for teaching us so much! : - )

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

These are such a great way to easily add more protein and vital nutrients like zinc, riboflavin, and vitamin B12 into your diet, which is important for people post surgery and for wound healing. They are tasty and easy to make, so you can’t really go wrong with your recipe. I never thought about reusing the brine, so thank you for the tips and the recipe.

[@donaldbeaudet8939]

I realy love your recepies and the way you teach. Thank you so much.❤

[@mileslong9675]

It has been a few years since I made tea eggs. I made them in my instant pot. Came out great!

[@zhouzhang9102]

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@kaniq6120]

I imagine that the leftover Brian would be pretty tasty as a sauce or even a cooking liquid for fish like white fish.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

That would be cool!

[@robynbeltrametti1748]

Hello Mandy, can you please show us how to make rice in your clay pot, I have bought your wok and clay pot, and need more recipes for the clay pot! Has your cookbook been published yet? Im looking forward to it very much! Thank you and regards from Cold Switzerland

[@viniciuscantoo]

Which kind of black tea are you using in this recipe? Keemun?

[@zuraidaaeschbacher4136]

Thank you dear 🌹 you look beautiful with this hair style

[@purpledohboy]

thanks bro.

[@tasneem9497]

How many times we can reuse the brine?

[@zzz2m0s48]

Next, make Bingtang Hulu or Tanghulu.... please 🙏

[@social3ngin33rin]

@1:09 ingredient list here

[@HighMojo]

I would not use a glass jar to store the brine in the freezer, even if you allow it to expand, it may still crack the glass and you will have to clean up the broken glass along with the contaminated food with glass pieces. Better to use a plastic container and eliminate this risk.

[@edporter9355]

👍👍👍👍 Hi Mandy !! Thank you for your very detailed presentation. The top you were wearing is very pretty and looked great on you. Will look for you in your next presentation.------Michigan

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

Now, why not peel the eggs after boiling and then brine them?

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

You can. But in China, this is a popular item that you bring to work ad school for breakfast or lunch, so it is best not to peel it before eating.

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

@@SoupedUpRecipes Ah, okay.

[@milinlim5211]

You won't get the marbling effect if you totally peel them.

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

@@milinlim5211 Ah, okay.

[@diva555sg]

How to avoid uneven egg. The yolk goes to 1 side.

[@gingganggoolie]

The older eggs get, the more runny the white is when it's raw. If the eggs are fresh, the white is firmer, the yolk will be more likely to stay in the middle

[@katl8825]

Stir during initial few min of cooking to keep the yolk in the middle of egg while it sets up.

[@LordWolfenstein]

I would never put glass in the freezer. It can potentially crack and explode in your hand when you grab it. There have been cases where people ended up getting stitches from the injury form the glass exploding in their hands.
