Chef Eileen made these amazingly beautiful eggs (called tea eggs). The first step is making some hard boiled eggs. Once they're hardboiled, you crack the egg shells ever so slightly (like the one in the picture). The cracked eggs are then simmered in a mixture of tea (in this case oolong), soy sauce, sugar and five spice powder (mix of anise, cloves, cinnamon, pepper and ginger). After a while (between 1 and 2 hours), the eggs begin to take on the beautiful tie-dyed, marbled look you see above.
Yummy!
