About Tea egg
A tea egg is a popular snack and traditional street food originating from Chinese cuisine. Made by simmering hard-boiled eggs in a savory mixture of black tea, soy sauce, and various spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon, the eggs develop a marbled appearance and a rich, aromatic flavor. This snack is high in protein and relatively low in calories, making it a nutritious and filling option. The spices used in the braising liquid may also offer antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, tea eggs can be high in sodium due to the soy sauce, so they should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring their salt intake. Tea eggs are often enjoyed on their own as a snack or incorporated into meals, offering a flavorful and satisfying way to boost protein intake while experiencing a taste of Chinese culinary tradition.
