Cha Ye Dan (茶葉蛋/茶叶蛋) Tea Egg

Cha Ye Dan (茶葉蛋/茶叶蛋) Tea Egg


 


Cha ye dan (茶葉蛋/茶叶蛋) (pinyin with tones: chá yè dàn), tea egg, is like boiled egg marinated in tea leaves and soy sauce. It tastes like lu dan (滷蛋/卤蛋, spiced corned egg), which is also braised in soy sauce and many spices. Cha ye dan uses shelled eggs, and before cooking, you should knock a little crack on the shell so that the sauce will flow into shell, which colors the egg and forms marble patterns. That is the main difference between cha ye dan and lu dan. You can find cha ye dan in every convenient store or at stands in old streets or traditional markets.

 


「台灣便利商店的經典──茶葉蛋。」——Mosa 評論

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
