About Braised egg

Braised Egg is a flavorful dish commonly found in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese cooking. This dish features hard-boiled eggs simmered in a savory and slightly sweet soy-based sauce, often infused with aromatic spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and garlic. The braising process gives the eggs a rich, caramelized flavor and dark hue. Nutritionally, braised eggs are a good source of protein, essential amino acids, and several vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which support brain function and metabolism. However, depending on the recipe, variations can be high in sodium due to soy sauce and seasoning, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Braised eggs are versatile, pairing well with rice, noodles, or vegetables, making them a satisfying addition to a balanced meal.
