Braised Egg in Soy Sauce

This Soy-Marinated Tea Eggs recipe delivers rich, savory flavor with a hint of spice, thanks to a fragrant brine of oyster sauce, light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns. The eggs are first perfectly soft-boiled, then soaked in a sweet-savory marinade that infuses them with deep umami notes. A touch of sugar balances the saltiness, while the peppercorns add a subtle numbing kick. The key to success? Letting the eggs soak overnight for maximum flavor. These marbled beauties make a delicious snack, ramen topping, or protein-packed addition to any meal. Quick to prepare yet impressive in taste, these tea eggs are a must-try for anyone who loves bold, aromatic flavors. The cold-water shock ensures easy peeling, while the slow brine soak guarantees every bite is packed with savory goodness.
