But doesn’t so much cooking or simmering make the yolks get really overcooked and greyish? The grey yolk tastes more bitter than a yellow yolk. How is the yolk supposed to look when you do it properly? thanks.

No, this recipe already includes the step of cooking the eggs.

Do you hard-boil the eggs and THEN heat them again and follow the steps? Or does this include hard-boiling the eggs?

In refrig if you are steeping for more than a couple of hours.

Hi! These look wonderful and I would like to try them. I’m wondering, though, do you leave them to steep out in room temp or can you store them in the fridge?

I tried making these eggs twice this past weekend and I just can’t figure out how to get the eggshell cracked enough to allow the soy mixture to seep in. Both times I *thought* it would be enough (my eggs looked just like yours in the second picture) and I allowed them to soak overnight. Only one looked right, the rest had barely anything. Any ideas on what I can do differently? As an aside, they did taste good.

There’s a little tea place by my house that sells these, and I absolutely needed to know how to make them. Turns out, like you’ve detailed here, I can easily recreate them in my kitchen (with a bit of time).
Thank you so much for the comprehensive recipe! Now I make these all the time!
