Recipe: Spicy Chinese tiger eggs with bold flavours
Are you tired of making your eggs the same way every time? Try these delicious Chinese tiger eggs.
Eggs are a nutritious part of just about every breakfast plate. However, repeatedly eating scrambled, boiled, poached or fried eggs can get boring.
Awaken your tastebuds with a Chinese tiger eggs recipe that will take your breakfast from meh to wow.
For many years, the Chinese have been eating Pao Cai Pi Dan, or tiger eggs. They take a simple hard-boiled egg, deep fry it, and transform it into something extraordinary.
It is usually served with pickled vegetables called pao cai.
We love this recipe shared by Jason Ortynski from Jorts Kitchen on TikTok.
Here's what you will need:
- 6-8 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup mirin
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp gochujang (red chilli paste)
- 4 diced Thai chilis
- 4 diced garlic cloves
- 1 full can of beer
- 2 tbsp sugar

If you don't want to use alcohol, Jorts Kitchen suggests replacing the mirin, sugar, and beer with cola or Dr Pepper!
You can serve the eggs with rice, noodles or steamed buns.
