Chinese Tea Eggs spark a lot of joy because it’s a popular yummy homemade snack for celebrations and outings!

It’s also a traditional street food that’s often found simmering in a big pot of ancient tea master stock. Even when it’s sold in a mobile food cart, tea eggs have the power to lure pedestrians in with its savory rich tea aroma. mmm…

This has always been one of my favorite ways of enjoying hard boiled eggs! Love the slightly sweet-savory rich flavors & tea aroma that lingers in your mouth.

Tasty, satisfying, and easy to eat! 😀

I’m not a fan of overcooked hard boiled eggs with a greenish grey ring around the yolk. Sadly, many tea eggs are often overcooked because they had been simmering long in the tea master stock.

So we’ve developed this method using our Instant Pot to get the best of both worlds – perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs richly infused with the tea master stock flavors.

The result?

Egg White: tender silky smooth yet firm; not chalky or rubbery; packed with tea master stock’s flavors & aroma

tender silky smooth yet firm; not chalky or rubbery; packed with tea master stock’s flavors & aroma Egg Yolk: light, evenly-cooked, slightly creamy yet fluffy; not crumbly, dry or powdery

How about you? How do you like your hard boiled eggs? 🙂

Time for some Delicious Aromatic Instant Pot Tea Eggs!
