Yiguo stewed

1

Prepare six eggs, wash them and place them in the pan, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, and turn to low heat for about six minutes

2

I thought there was ready-made brine, so I was lazy

3

Take another pot, add the marinade, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat and turn to low heat for about ten minutes, let cool, set aside

4

Take out the boiled eggs and soak them in cold water for a while, then break them one by one (just use any tool to break them, but don't remove all the shells) to crack them.

5

Put the cracked eggs into the cooled marina and continue to boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and simmer for about half an hour

6

Remove the stewed eggs and place them in a bowl, add appropriate amount of brine and place them in a bowl, and set aside for later use

7

Put the cleaned and soaked peanuts into the re-cooled brine, boil over high heat, turn to medium heat and continue to cook for an hour

8

These are peanuts that have been cooked for about half an hour and have become a little fatter

9

After boiling for an hour, add the eggs and the brine used to soak the eggs and cook until boiling, turn to low heat and cook for half an hour (the picture shows peanuts that have been boiled for an hour)

10

Wash the dried tofu in advance and cut it into triangles. After the eggs and peanuts are cooked, add the dried tofu. Turn off the heat and simmer for about ten minutes (if you are not in a hurry to eat, you can simmer it overnight for better flavor)

11

These are eggs, peanuts and dried tofu after being stewed for an hour. They have been colored and taste very delicious.

Let me also take a close-up of the eggs. This is the egg taken last night. One of them is a little cracked. It can be seen that the color has been improved. I let them all stay in the pot and stew it all night. This morning, I boiled the pot again and boiled it on low heat for about five minutes. The taste and color are really good, but my phone unfortunately broke and I couldn't take the pictures anymore.

You can first put the eggs in the pan and pour in clear water, so that the water has just passed through the eggs. Cover the lid and boil the water to make small bubbles, turn off the heat for about 3-5 minutes, and then open fire again. At this time, bring the water to a boil and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, turn off the heat, and take out the eggs. At this time, the eggs are The egg white has condensed, and the yolk is still liquid. This can prevent the eggs from being cooked too long and becoming too hard, but I don't, because the stewed eggs are delicious no matter how good, heh;
If you don't have ready-made marinade, you can add your own salt, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, sesame, and cloves. I think he also added thyme and sugar to the ingredients. I don't think adding sugar or not. I won't add it if I make it myself, but this marinade tastes really good. I didn't add any seasoning and it's already delicious;
If you are not in a hurry to eat, you'd better soak it overnight before eating it to taste it better. The marinade can be preserved and used later. It is said that you need to add some chicken feet or meat for the first time to make it more fragrant, but I think it's already very delicious.
