Chinese red eggs ( birthday)








Ingredients:
(10 hard-boiled eggs)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar ( I used normal white vinegar)
1/2 tablespoon rose syrup



you need vinegar and rose syrup





keep twirling around with a spoon
drain excess dye away with the sieve 





Method ( with modification):

1.  Mix vinegar and syrup together in a small bowl.  Set aside for later use.

2.  Boil the eggs in cold water, low heat, with a pinch of salt and dash of vinegar. This is to strip the waxy coating from the eggs.  Simmer the eggs for about 30 to 40 minutes.

3.  When eggs are hard boiled (while it is still warm), start by dropping one egg at a time, in a bowl filled with the prepared red coloring, keep twirling around with a spoon, allow as much dye to drain as possible.

3.  Place eggs in sieve to let the excess dye drip away.

note:  dye your eggs while they are still warm also, dye one egg at a time.


I also made Longevity Peach steamed buns for celebrating my dad's birthday.
