    I tried this recipe… tastes great, looks so cool on the outside, but inside, the yolk is green around the edge… a bit unappealing to look at, but then I eat them fast, so no worries. Is there any way to keep yolk from turning green while still getting good flavor and tea markings on the egg white? Maybe soak raw eggs in already cooked tea mixture from last time, then cook it for less time than the recipe calls for?

    If you don't like the dryness of a hard, hard-boiled egg, you can do this the "japanese way" ;

    Egg : soft-boiled (around 6 mins in boiled water), immediately put them in water with ice. It will cease the cooking.

    For the broth, you follow Mike's recipe, you boiled it. Then you let it cool down. (Ambiant temperature)
    You want it to boil for quite long so the sugar/salt is well incorporated and the tea, garlic and spices are well infused. Do it covered or all the water would evaporate, you need just the enough amount to cover all your eggs in a cooking bag.

    Then you take a plastic cooking bag, you pour your broth and place your eggs in it. You place the whole in the fridge for 24hours.

    And finally, after 24 hours, you can eat the egg as they are, or even better, eat then with ramen !
    The eggs will have the nice taste of the broth and the eggs' yolk will still be 'wet' and shiny.๐Ÿ‘Œ
