This quick egg recipe from Chinese street food cooks hard-boiled eggs briefly in an air fryer after cracking their shells and coating them with soy sauce and spices. The sauce seeps through the cracks to create a marbled pattern on the eggs.
Boil the eggs in boiling water for 9 minutes, then transfer them to ice water.
Once the eggs have cooled, gently tap their shells with the back of a spoon to create a web of cracks. Do not peel them.
Mix the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Soak the cracked eggs in this mixture for at least 20 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the sauce and cook them in an air fryer at 160°C / 320°F for 8 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, bake them in an oven preheated to 160°C / 320°F for the same amount of time.
Tap the shells gently with the back of a spoon; hitting them too hard may break the eggs. Allergens: contains eggs and soy. Additional allergen check: check the product label for gluten statements, since soy sauce products may vary.
