In reply to Nikki. I don't like them re-heated, make them too dry. I like them eating with hot rice.

In reply to Nikki. Hi Nikki, you should refrigerate the eggs in the sauce if you can't finish them within a day or two. You can definitely heat it up :-)

I’m in love with this recipe. Made a batch two nights ago, and they’re just divine. Silky/creamy texture, subtle flavor… absolutely perfect. Another commenter suggested using a needle to gently poke holes through the egg membrane in areas where the cracks meet, and I can confirm this produced visible marbling after 24 hours, but I think they looked best after 48 hours.

I first attempted tea eggs about four years ago using someone else’s recipe, and they were so dry and chalky that I’ve not made them since. Using your recipe, this is probably my new favorite way to make eggs for a snack or breakfast. I omitted the Sichuan pepper (didn’t have any on hand) but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I’m going to try to order some Sichuan pepper online (I see that you recommended the green kind to other commenters) so that I can try this recipe again and get the full intended flavor. Thanks so much for your recipes, they are so satisfying to make and enjoy. 😊

In reply to Mimi. Mimi, This is off the subject sort of but wanted to let you know another way to use up broken pieces of spice. Put them in a coffee filter, draw it up and tie with thread or string. Then when soup or stew is done just pluck the bag out.

In reply to Kitty. Yes, use lipton black teabags, some of the tea that lipton uses are from China too :-)

In reply to Kitty.

We use 2 teabags (Yorkshire Tea) for the full recipe and they turn out amazing!
