    Ingredients:

    Method:

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs and cook for 6 ½ minutes, ensuring the water fully covers them.

  2. Prepare an ice bath. Once the eggs are done, transfer them immediately to the ice water.

  3. In a separate pot over medium heat, add the rock sugar with 2 tbsp of water and stir until melted.

  4. Once melted, add the remaining seasonings and aromatics. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. Lightly crack the eggs using the back of a spoon, then add them to the pot of broth.

  6. Simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and allow the broth to cool completely before transferring to the fridge. Let the eggs marinate overnight for extra flavour.

  7. Remove the egg shells, serve with chilli oil and enjoy.
