Creative Art Egg

Creative Art Egg

Decorated eggs with small leaves pressed against the shell and secured in stockings, then boiled in salted water to leave crisp, delicate leaf silhouettes as a charming natural pattern.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Choose eggs that are white or light-colored and clean them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Picked from the community courtyard and cleaned.

    The stockings are new.

    Dip the small leaves in water and place them on the eggs, then cover the eggs with stockings and tie a knot. To save stockings, I used one stocking for two eggs (each knot must be tied tightly), and the leaf pattern is clear.

    Add water to the pot, add an appropriate amount of salt, put in the eggs, then turn on the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

    Then add an appropriate amount of red yeast rice (first mix a small amount with a little water in a small bowl before pouring it into the pot), and add an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce.

  7. 7

    Take the eggs out of the pot (actually, they should be soaked for another 2 to 3 hours, which would make the color deeper and prettier, but I only soaked them for half an hour because I had to go out).

  8. 8

    Carefully unravel the stockings one by one, take out the eggs, wash them, line the plate with leaves, and arrange the artistic eggs—it looks very beautiful!

    I used to make it twice with the eggs peeled, and the effect was very good. Now in the summer, because it's hot and easy to spoil, I didn't peel them, peeling them as I eat. The Dragon Boat Festival eggs have arrived!
