![Running Yolk Chinese Tea Egg Recipe - Easy and Delicious [茶叶蛋]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NNDyuZ0RsEs/mqdefault.jpg)
I tried making these last night for my Shanghai-born and bred husband-to-be as a surprise. He came into the kitchen while I was doing it and knew EXACTLY what I was cooking from the smell alone. He said they were very good and reminded him of home. Then he asked me to make them for his students (he teaches Chinese at an American University in the west) too!
s. bentjen nice! The smell is intoxicating
How did the students like them?
@@absolutezippo7542 The husband still eats them and since he missed his trip to visit his parents this year due to Covid, it helps a little.
@@absolutezippo7542 ikr
I though it takes about the time to boil eggs to make these but apparently I was off by a mere 8 hours.
Gaming Power LOL
It doesn't take that long to make, he just overdone everything. You can just cook the sauce separate while the egg is cooking. Then just cold rinse the egg, crack the eggs, and place them in the sauce and let it soak for an hour. This way of cooking doesn't create that weird green yolk coating.
Stet Tan True. And if you keep the eggs longer in the sauce and let it marinate, there will be even more flavour in the eggs. i would prefer to keep it in the sauce longer for even more flavour. Also, crack the eggs even more, let more of that delicious flavour seep into the egg :p
Epicure
Why not just peel off all the shell and let it soak straight in without the shell?
I am not fan of hard boiled eggs but my wife loves eggs anyway she can eat them. So I tried your recipe last night and now I love hard boiled tea eggs. I'm going to try the hot oil next. Great Job and fun time watching you!
When I was 14, my dad took me to Taiwan and he bought a tea egg from a local vender. Oh, my, my, I loved it. I also loved salty preserved duck eggs in mud.
Boiled eggs are the perfect convenience food to take to work or class. Thanks for this video! I've been looking for a new take on the hard-boiled egg. It seems like you could add any variety of things to the broth to get different tastes. Whoever invented tea eggs must have been a working-class genius.
Most likely!
At this point I'm just certain Mike has a genuine addiction to hot oil
CTLV Steve it is his drug
CTLV Steve I'm exactly the same! Lol
Pretty sure his blood is more oil than blood by now!
Stephen Knips just like me and my mum's homemade chilli
If you have a good chili oil it is addicting. Great on tacos too!
"Im gonna make tea with eggs together. With the shells on." What madman thought of this? Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to try one.
You can brew tea and boil eggs at the same time. Seems pretty time and energy efficient to me.
Tea Eggs were originally a way for poorer families in Taiwan to get a just a handful of strong flavourful Tea Leaves, make that flavour go further and share it with a whole family.
HHHHMMMM that’s a good tea egg
HHHHMMMM that’s a good tea egg
HHHHMMMM that’s a good tea egg
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have made tea eggs several times. Both my husband and daughter love when I make them And each time I make it slightly different. I use every time the Chinese 5 Spice that my husband bought a bottle of.
I will say that it is better to use quality tea over the cheap stuff. And about one tea bag per egg at least.
Thanks for the idea of sugar. The recipe I found didn't use sugar. Thinking of using honey when I make them next time.
As for the garlic, I mince it when I use it. I'm also thinking of a pinch or two of red peppers(scale 7 Scoville) next time as well.
I boil them for two hours. Then I turn off the heat and let them soak for a day or two.
When I read your message make me mouth watering. l love tea eggs.
LOL. Great Chinese food recipes + humour = best asian cooking channel, ever
This tea egg is one of my favorite foods when i was in Taiwan! It is also being sold in 7-11 there! Very delish
Thanks Mike! I just cooked a batch of tea eggs and they taste awesome. I had one straight after letting them cool and looking forward to having a couple for breakfast tomorrow morning after they've been soaking in the tea goodness overnight.
Ben Ng awesome! Glad they turned out well for you :-)
"I don't even want to eat it. I just want to sniff it." -Mike 2016
Josh cramer it was 2014
🖕🖕
Try it, I tried at the fast food restaurant, it test very good
Josh cramer insert Lenny face:
I tried it right now and IT REALLY DOES SMELL SO GOOOOOOD. OH EMMMM G!!!! It was really a powerful test of patience and hunger but the two hours wait is really worth it. I can't wait for my siblings to try them when they get home
Mike: "you know what might make this better? hah, did you guess it already, hah?"
Me: uhhhhh......drinking some tea?
Mike: "hot oil!"
Me: i'm waaaay off haha
of course Mike was going to recommend some more oil lmao 😂

I tried this recipe with lapsang souchong tea and smoked salt and it was great
My Wife is from Guangzhou, China and I made this recipe, but added a splash of concentrated coffee to it! Great for breakfast 😊
"Super Saiyan Tea Eggs"
When you peeled it the egg looked like a dragon egg
How have you seen a dragon egg?
DBreeazyy don't question these things
@@DBreeazyy the real question is why haven't you seen one? they are everywhere like birds in the sky. maybe we live in a different timeline
I just made these and they turned out so yummy! The aroma is aromatic and earthy ❤️
Man im really worried about you, i think you are addicted to hot oil. LOL
yossi landa it is his drug
Yo let the man live
no wonder so easy to make , and it makes anything taste good
My moms exact words upon making this and she entering the house after. "It really smells Chinese in here." Bon appetite everyone. The eggs are delicious
OMG..These tea eggs are seriously goooooooooooooooooood! I'm making my 2nd batch right now. LOL Thanks so much for the recipe and cool vlog. :)
Whomever liked this or followed this you now have aids.
Im sorry its just how it is
Jacob Hale u alright there mate
@@jacobhale2006 wtf-
I love, love , love your videos. You informative and hilarious at the same time. Following this recipe I was finally able to make the most perfect tea eggs imaginable. Thanks again.
I really like that you started a simple insight to Chinese cooking section to this channel! I'm learning all these myself. For some reason whenever I ask friends, they don't like to give me any ideas (no idea...) so this is wonderful! Keep it up if you could!
actually both megan and charlie are right, you hard boil the egg, then crack it but do not peel it, then put it in whatever, just make sure there is a crack for the liquid to get in, i guess charlie got a tea egg and never paid attention why it was already cracked, my man kept on peeling it and thought maybe it cracked during boiling who cares and ate it.
how to hardboil an egg for longer then you cook a whole chicken
20 minutes overboard lol my mouth dropped and then I gagged when he took a bite.
it's a tea egg, not a hard boiled egg you 2 cultureless imbeciles
But so worth it!
byh c lmao 😆
good things come in effort, that's all I'm saying
I tried the recipe except I didn't take too much note of the water:soy sauce ratio. If it looks right, it probably is right. I didn't have any oolong tea so I just used the only black tea I had... and it was English Breakfast. I tried it with the garlic, cayenne and cumin. Delicious! I'll probably leave the rest overnight and try it tomorrow morning.
Leaving it overnight allows the flavours to infuse more and the marbling effect looks stronger.
For anyone wondering - red tea is not what he is referring to. he's using a black tea. "RED TEA" is rooibos, which is NOT made from the tea plant, they're actually a south african pine needle.
Tea eggs are made from teas based on the camilla sinesis, which is black, green, pu-erh, and oolong.
If someone looked at me the way Mike looked at the tea eggs I would feel so happy xD
I love tea eggs and I can't wait to try this out! (but didn't know it required that much ingredients) is it ok if i skip the cinammon?
lol really? was I shooting sparks from my eyes? no, you have to have cinnamon
Strictly Dumpling yes haha with infinite love xD okie i'll go buy cinnamon, btw thanks for the recipe!~ :)
I’m gonna skip the cinnamon anyway because I’m allergic lol
OMG I am wanting to eat those 茶葉蛋!!!!!
You look like Jacky Chan's son.
+Jake Long And you too...!
Phu Dao Hes jacky Chan’s father
How is that an insult,I'd kill to be jacky chan's son
@@sirbootybob4194 Why do you think its an insult?
I have never heard of tea eggs... but your enthusiasm for them has made up my mind. I'm gonna try this recipe.
I am chinese and i dont know how to make 茶葉蛋。 now i know now how to make tea egg now from him. Love your channel. Thumbs up!!
love your channels.....its extremely informative and tell me pretty much everything about chineses culture....also love your style of narration
jabrin shikder Thanks :-)
Hell yeah
I'm watching this because I'm in isolation and I want a tea egg.
This is one of my very favorite videos. I have made the recipe several times and absolutely love them.
yummy! my favorite!!!! thanks for making this video... i was salivating the whole time lol
lalabun25 no prob :-)
I used to eat the sugar rocks when I was a kid. Diabetes in a bag, but I loved it!
sparklingangel195 yes! it was awesome that way
YEEEEEEEEEEEE
My friend is from China so every time we go hiking she would bring Tea egg for us for snack … It strange at first but I get use to it even look forward to whenever I hiking . I saw your video so one day I surprise my friend with your recipe… she could not believe it … thanks for posting it.
Lol! I tried my first tea egg last night and now in going to try to make it my self! And I agree with you the smell is so addicting!! I couldn't stop smelling it. Definitely going to try this recipe!!!!! Thank you!
Okay, I'm EXTREMELY intrigued. might have to make this my next culinary experiment.
The TIME, though. Sheesh. Clocking in at about 2 to 4 hours already, from prep time to done!
+Justin Kalman i was thinking the same, it's probably best to do batches
"i dont wanna even eat it I just wanna sniff it" dude this made me laugh too much and hungry at 10pm :(
I always thought cooking was boring. But the notion of making something so whacky does motivate me to view the kitchen in a different light. Thanks, Mike!
Saahil Dhar no problem :-)
Stuck in quarantine, and reallllly missing tea eggs from outside small mom and pop shops. So glad you made a video of how to make it! Thank you! Now I just need to satisfied my egg tart craving, please drop a recipe for that if you have! Thanks Mike!
Eggs look like eggs out of jurassic park nom nom
i will make some in the morning really fancy some need something to look forwards too
***** can you imagine....dinosaur tea eggs?!?!?! Sooooo massive!
Turn it into a tea egg salad
Strictly Dumpling Tbh, dinosaur eggs aren't that big, but compared to a chicken egg, it is quite big.
Eau de Tea Egg, yummy!! :P
The comment down below says you can fail doing it....I´ve never had tea eggs before, so I did not know what to expect, but OMG!!!!! I`m on heaven :D thank you for sharing, I´ll repeat it for ever, and all my friends are gonna have a bite, love from Uruguay
Pam Ross plus, my house smells awesome
Oh my never had a tea egg before we watched your video now can't stop making them Another batch on the go now I cook mine for less time so they are still soft and oozing in the middle cook in water for 2 mins take out of the water crack egg place back into the pan add soy tea mix cook for a further 2 min turn off leave to cool in the soy tea mix. Put eggs and juice into a storage container pop into the fridge they are so awesome thanks 😊
Mike you look so much like Jackie Chan in this one. 🤗
"Mighty morphing power tea eggs"
XD XD lol I can't
I’ve been wanting to try tea eggs for a while because I think they look pretty. I’m following your recipie as we speak and wishing for a fast forward button so I can finally taste them!!
Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood 😘
love your channel!!!
+manickreations thanks for watching! :-)
is it me , or does he look like Jackie chan
LOL I was JUST thinking that. While he was cracking the egg lmaoooo
Cooking with Jackie Chan.
Edit: Do it, before you're big enough for him to notice and sue you
+TheLulzbatRises Facial features are there too.
LOL yes I also thought about that!!!!! :))))

Dear Mike, tried the Tea eggs (not for the first time, but Your reciepe now) and it went perfectly well. Stored it in the liquid, which makes it even better every day! Thanks for charing! Best wishes from stormy and wet Cologne, Germany...
Thanks for the recipe. It's interesting to see what all goes into making authentic tea eggs. When I make tea eggs I only use tea and soy sauce and they still taste yummy.
That greenish-grey color around the yolk is an indication that the egg is over cooked. Is there a way to still get the flavor and not over cooking the egg?
Yukmoufwolf Most likely not.
I like the cheesy harp music in between scenes
MORE COOKING VIDEOS!!! 🎉🎉 love them!
When I went to China I stayed at the Banyan Tree Hotel.... They have a lovely buffet style cuisine, as does the Shangri La. They have these lovely boiled tea eggs. I thought eggs were so plain until I had tried these and fell in love. Asian culture is so diverse and exotic.... and even if you are not from their culture it will give you a certain nostalgia that feels like home.
Could that broth be used to make soups - as you would use beef or vegetable stock?
+Michaël Claveau no, tea is no good overnight
Thank you :). I really love your channel btw - both this one and Double Chen :). Keep up the good work!
+Strictly Dumpling Mike! I just made those, and i LOVE it. But: i made six of them and i stored 5 of them in the fridge together with the broth cause you said it should be stored in the broth. i also added some broth to my ramen and its great tasty. now i read here, the broth is no good over night???
+Strictly Dumpling Wow, i never thought you were a Power Ranger and a DragonBall fan
+Michaël Claveau Green Tea Ramen or Rice Soup is actually quite nice! The bitterness of the Tea soaks into the Noddle's/Rice during boiling and keeps the flavor, so adding sweet-flavored vegetables is a good flavor pairing. I accidentally discovered this one day when I had NO Broth but lots of Left-Over Tea Bags, and it felt rather healthy to eat and drink afterwards, almost like a booster-meal.
I absolutely have to try your recipe !!! I remember in Taipei I used to buy tea eggs in 7/11 for a snack :)
lol yea 20 min won't do it and don't worry about the yolk turning green :-)
I live in New York City, once you make the eggs you will know what I'm talking about with the intoxicating scent...sooo nice!
You can use pressure cooker to speed it up. Just make sure you let the egg cool down afterwards!
Danwen Zuo that's a good idea thank you !!! Strictly Dumpling awesome ! I've been to NY last winter for the 2nd time ! Loved it ! :D Can't wait to smell that fantastic scent again in my home then :p
Kelyrin's Cooking & Bento hope you ate at some good places when you were here!
Had these in Reno at Golden Dragon when I was about thirteen and was in love 😁 now I can make them 😁 Awesomeness!!! Th for the share.
Thanks for that, I tried making it by following an on-line recipe but the instructions were a bit unclear, this makes it much clearer.
caynne powder? How do i get powder from a porsche caynne?
So handsome in that apron, it should say "Kiss The Cook!" 🙈
I've made these and they are sooo good. I love eggs. I was looking for another way to enjoy them. I make a batch and keep them in the fridge. They are a easy quick snack. Thanks for this video. I've watched it at least three times. You are hilarious.
He’s so cute when he gets all excited about food!
Wonder if these would make good deviled eggs.
!!!! Maybe you'll be the first! That would look cool, anyway!
2 teaspoons of salt, not tablespoons. Just a little gaffe
Mikey Chen is the probably the most amusing and entertaining cook of the 21 st century.
Years ago, I made tea eggs for my wife. I said honey, you want these thousand year old eggs? It took a bit of convincing to try them, but she loved it and is now here favorite way to have a boiled egg. Give them a try.
6?? Looked like 7 to me.
+Pikeman50 5:29 count the eggs...
+Surgical02 He's talking about the star anise.
I think he's talking about the angles in between the lines of the star anise. Like where it forms a little V-shape.
Black tea and red tea aren't the same. Black tea is the leaves from the tea plant (camellia sinensis) that have been oxidized for a long time to make the tea very strong and when steeped, the tea is a dark colour, hence the name. Black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and white tea actually are all made from the same plant, it's just that the leaves are oxidized for different amounts of time. Red tea, on the other hand, is actually made from a completely different plant. Another name for red tea is rooiboos tea.
Arsène Lupin I didn't know that, thanks
in mandarin black tea is referred to as red tea.
Ceylon style teas and dark Mainland Chinese teas (such as those produced in Yunan) are often known as red teas as well, due to the colour of the tear liquor produced. When a Chinese person says Black Tea they often mean Pu Erh fermented teas.
In some places, "red tea" means what we know as black tea, and "black tea" means pu erh (like Joseph Potter already mentioned). If its called "tea", technically it really should be from the camellia sinensis.
Red tea is Camellia assamica, a subspecies of Camellia sinensis. Red Bush tea or Rooibos is from an African plant, not a Camellia.
I tried your recipe and Oh boy,I ended up making a dozen again! Theyre damned addictive and great low carb snack!....Better than the ones I bought from the streets in hongkong!
I feel more comfortable to see you "solo" rather than with the other guy. You are natural to present us information, not pretend like an ABC. Please continue give us interesting info. Thank you.
tea egg?
i love eggs and tea, but to combine it? 😲
hmmmmm.... for me its kinda weird but Im gonna try it, its probably worth a try... hehe!!! 😄
Arj Soriano it's sooooooo awesome :-)
Man ! Not the tea bag ! You need real tea ! Tea bag flavor is too light
STNY1986 agreed
tetley tea bags lol
or tesco
Specific type you recommend?
Dude... not gonna lie! As soon as you were squeezing it to show the juice pocket, I was thinking - oooohhh... that would be AWESOME with some hot oil! Then, as if I had been reading your mind, you do just that! Mind - blown! Can't wait to try them!!!
People might want to know that many Asian markets sell spices made up for this, like a really large tea bag, also there is an instant kind with instructions on it. So the bag is full of salt and sugar and spices, if you put it in water it makes that soup directly. I''m not saying this is better, but it might be good for people who aren't used to cooking, or if you suddenly find eggs on sale! I really like these eggs, and that's when I make them- when eggs are suddenly cheaper. So you can make a dozen, I don't think they spoil in the refrigerator!
Uh..does it taste like tea
no it's a salty flavor
that's not "six" dude...
This may sound weird but everytime we make tea eggs, we always use the leftover liquid to braise chicken or pork belly. They turn out really delicious .
+Elna Lim it's true, the spices uesd in tea eggs are general in Chinese recipe. You can use them to make every Chinese food you want.
My friend put a picture of a Tea Egg and i was so confused as i never saw one before and now i wanna try it ! Thanks for showing me how, i'll def be making that soon !
Boil for 20 minutes? Seems like your eggs would be over cooked.....
Yea, that is why it was green around the yolk, forms ferrous sulfide where the yolk and white meet. But I like that sulfur smell hahaha!
Yeah you would think the shells would stick after being cooked that long.
Best way to eat eggs . . . deviled eggs.
now, how do i make homemade ones?
so simple! Hard boil eggs. Cut in half length wise, scoop out the yolk and mix with mayo, mustard, whatever flavors you like and refill the eggs with the mixture. So, so good.
paprika is amazing with deviled eggs
I always forget about the paprika because I don't normally have it in the house. My mom used to do it, though.
Yes, paprika really sets the flavors in motion.
"That's a good tea eggs" XD
I don't know why that's so funny but I'm laughing so hard
This person has very classy sense of humor.Not everyone can make tea egg video fun and interesting.
This guy has a great palate. Tea eggs and liang pi noodles are my fave dishes too.
My fiancé from Hong Kong made this for me and my mother, it's really cool and good, he just used green tea and salt, soy sauce left it on the stove for 3 days
If you don't like the dryness of a hard, hard-boiled egg, you can do this the "japanese way" ;
Egg : soft-boiled (around 6 mins in boiled water), immediately put them in water with ice. It will cease the cooking.
For the broth, you follow Mike's recipe, you boiled it. Then you let it cool down. (Ambiant temperature)
You want it to boil for quite long so the sugar/salt is well incorporated and the tea, garlic and spices are well infused. Do it covered or all the water would evaporate, you need just the enough amount to cover all your eggs in a cooking bag.
Then you take a plastic cooking bag, you pour your broth and place your eggs in it. You place the whole in the fridge for 24hours.
And finally, after 24 hours, you can eat the egg as they are, or even better, eat then with ramen !
The eggs will have the nice taste of the broth and the eggs' yolk will still be 'wet' and shiny.👌
i had a tea egg once in hong kong with my mother and i liked it ever since, now i know how to make them myself :)
Not only are tea eggs great, I love that amber marble-like pattern on them.
giving this a try right now!! and the tamato in the rice cooker at the same time!!
These were flippin' delicious. And you were right about the smell of em. It's something almost familiar that I can't quite place.
Awesome! I'm going to surprise my family this Easter--Tea eggs and Lamb! Omigosh YUM! XD
my mom makes this for me all the time!
