Tips:
The eggs are marinated with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce in order to fry them to get a good-looking tiger skin color. Because the soaked soy sauce water does not submerge the eggs, it is best to turn the eggs halfway. The remaining brine can continue to be used, such as braised beef, smoked fish, and dried tofu.
