Red-Cooked Eggs
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp sesame oil
1 hoisin sauce
1 oyster sauce
Preparation
In a pot, cover the eggs with cold water; bring to a boil, then
simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cool the eggs under cold
running water, and shell them. In a pan, combine the brown sugar, soy
sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Heat the mixture, stirring to
dissolve the brown sugar. Add the eggs. Simmer, covered for 1 hour.
The liquid should cover the eggs, but if it does not, baste
frequently. Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the another
hour, turning them from time to time, to ensure even coloring. Serve
cut into halves or quarters, with dipping sauce. Makes 6 to 8
appetizer servings. DIPPING SAUCE: In bowl, combine equal parts of
the hoisin sauce and oyster sauce.
