Ingredients

Makes 8 eggs

4 cups water

3⁄4 cup soy sauce

2 thumb-sized slices ginger

3 garlic cloves, peeled

2 Tbsp. oolong tea leaves

2 bay leaves

1 star anise pod

1 cinnamon stick

1 Tbsp. kosher salt

1 Tbsp. light brown sugar

8 eggs

Step 1
In a large pot, combine the water, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, tea, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until fragrant. With a slotted spoon or strainer, gently lower the eggs into the pot. Cook for 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step 2
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. With the spoon or strainer, remove the eggs and place them in the ice bath. Pour the brine into a heatproof container and let cool.
Step 3
Once the brine is cool, peel the eggs and place them in the container, cover, and marinate overnight. Serve the following day or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

And just how are supposed to peel whole eggs cooked this soft? I followed you recipe to a T twice, and Iwas left with 16 soft-boiled eggs wasted.
