Ingredients

12 fresh eggs
1 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoon 5-spices
½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
6 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Place eggs in single layer in saucepan. Cover with cold water. Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil 15 minutes at medium heat. Drain and cool under cold water, peel.

In a sauce pan, roast spices for few seconds, add sauces and sugar, mix and bring to boil.

Add eggs, reduce heat and admire your work, keep turning eggs until coated and colored to dark brown.
