Any Chinese recipes people would recommend?
Here's a very pretty starter:
Marbled Tea Eggs
Ingredients:
6 eggs
4 cups of water
3 tablespoons tea leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon Chinese 5 spice powder
(total carb = 3g)
Instructions
Put eggs in saucepan, cover with cold water and bring slowly to boil
simmer for 7 mins
cool eggs thoroughly in cold water
lightly crack shells by rolling each egg on hard surface, don't remove shells
bring 4 cups water to boil, add tea leaves, salt and 5 spice
add cracked eggs
simmer covered for approx. 30 mins or until shells turn brown
let eggs stand in pan for at least 30 mins or overnight if possible
drain, cool and shell - the whites of egg will have marbled pattern on them
serving suggestion - cut into quarters and serve w low carb dipping sauce
