Marvelous Marbled Eggs

I worked in my parents’ restaurant until I left home for college. Being the older kid in the family, I waited on tables and served tea and coffee to customers. Working in a restaurant, I noticed many customers automatically add salt and pepper to food without sampling. I wondered why customers add salt and pepper to their tea and drink it like soup. Now I believe it’s a great idea to cook with tea.

Here is an old Chinese recipe you can make with tea. It is a delicious appetizer that is easy to make.  Cook 6 eggs in water. After the water boiled, reduce heat and simmer eggs for 10 minutes. In a teapot, use 4 servings of black tea and 3 cups of hot water. Steep your tea as usual and discard the tea leaves. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the tea, maybe some salt and pepper if you’d like. When the eggs are cooked and cooled off, crack the egg shell by rolling them on the counter. Do not peel the egg shells yet. Simmer eggs in tea for 10 minutes. Let the eggs cool off and refrigerated for 8 hours or overnight. The eggs can be serve as it is.

With the 6 egg yolks, you can use a Deviled Egg recipe or try this recipe using crab meat.This is another variation to adding flavors to the egg yolks. Cut eggs in halves and remove the egg yolks. In an empty bowl, add the egg yolks, 6 ounces of crab meat and 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Add pieces of pickled ginger, half teaspoon of rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper to flavor it. Top egg halves with a spoon full of the egg/crab mixer. Garnish with cilantro.

We can cook these marbleized eggs around Easter. As a matter of fact, my daughter decided to use the same technique to color Easter Eggs. By using food die, we made many marbleized eggs during Easter.
