How about some jalapeño ice cream.

I find green tea ice cream to be really good. Might be the brand of green tea ice cream. It is also quite good with root beer...don't knock till you try it!

I agree with the "brand" issue above: I think it has to do with the brand and not just in terms of quality. Some brands (quality brands and inferior brands) go heavier on the green tea than other brands do. I like green tea ice cream but I've had green tea ice cream at a high end restaurant in japan and hated it because it was almost pure green tea.

NOTE!! if you ever find anyone who makes "deep fried green tea ice cream" just buy it and eat it. Even if you don't like it and even if you've never tried it. Why? Two reasons:

1. It's awesome.
2. Even if you don't think it's awesome it's VERY VERY hard to come by. Almost nobody sells it because it "burns the oil" they fry it in. At least you'll have tried something very very rare (unless you want to do it at home yourself, I suppose. From your perspective, "Mr. I deep fry my own green tea ice cream," of course it wouldn't seem very rare. But for the rest of the we-don't-deep-fry-our-own-green-tea-ice-cream world it's rare.

I like green tea ice cream. I've had bad brands though, where you could literally taste/feel the cheap powdery stuff.

Anything green tea flavored that's NOT actually a cup of green tea is gross, really.

Roger that on the tea egg thing. They are awesome. In Taiwan that's what they sell at 7eleven stores instead of hotdogs/deep-fried burritos (or whatever the hell happened to those burrito-looking things).

How are you making them? Soft-boil first, crack, then boil to hard in tea?

I've tried softboil and hard boil.. It didn't make a difference.

The Crack method is best if you're in it for the nostalgia, which I AM.. to get the marble pattern to appear on the Egg.

However, If you want the flavor to just GET IN and so you can EAT TOMORROW...  Just peel after boiling.. and stew in the pot with all the flavoring..

One more thing: go nuts with this. In China you can walk through a night market and find a bunch of different vendors selling a bunch of different variations on this theme. Boil your eggs in tea and jalapeno pepper sauce? They've done that. Boil your eggs in X and Y sauce? Seriously, the Chinese are laughing: they've been doing that for about 1000 years before any Europeans even heard of the "Indies." I got to the point where I just stopped asking what they were made of because they're all awesome. Seriously. I mean, maybe you have to boil them in water first and then tea for a while before you cook them in Spaghetti Sauce for a while (or in your Stew or Gumbo). Figure out how to do it correctly: to make sure you handle that raw-egg issue - whatever salmonella-f***ing BS food poisoning is associated with raw eggs (I don't know for certain because I'm not a f***ing chef) and you'll never look at a boiled egg the same way again.

Note: All timelines are possibly exaggerations (but only possibly).

Another interesting quote I heard last time I visited China:

We eat: everything in the sky (except the plane); everything on land (except the car) and everything in the sea (except the submarine).

Apropos!


P.S. Also... thanks for putting up with my salty language today. I'm a bit off my stride today.

remember.. Overboiling is a key element to the traditional taste, while normally we try to avoid getting the egg-yolk to turn "green"...  that green induced "sulfuric" scent is what complements the 5-spice..

Also.. Make sure you check that the tea you're using isn't something being saved..

Apparently I boiled away some rare tea that was expensive even converted to USD.. my parents didn't care.. but they told me that if I ever made tea-eggs again in some one else's house, I should check..

Green tea ice cream is actually quite good.  The problem is that you have to make it yourself, or go to a restaurant where they make it.  Matcha green tea powder is very expensive.  The good stuff costs $60/ pound.  There is a medium grade, but that still costs $30/ pound.  The low grade stuff is rejected in Japan, and makes its way into corporate ice cream in America, like your Haagen Dazs, and it's horrible.  I wouldn't let my dog eat that slop.  If you have any more Haagen Dazs, pour it down the toilet, where it belongs.

If you want eggs, you should try a 100 year egg:



For a real treat, you should have some delicious stinky tofu:



Stinky tofu does smell a little bit like raw ass, so you have to get past that part.

I love green tea ice cream, I love anything Green tea actually.  But honestly, try deep fried green tea ice cream, they are great!

I like green tea ice cream.
Pistachio is good too.
So is Rum.

Over and out.

You need to try one of those made with hokkaido milk ones

Make sure you crack the shell sufficiently when cooking the tea eggs, else very little of the solution makes it into the egg

Huh that reminds me...

So I had one of those and it was great ... then I spent the next hour on the toilet.
 
That thing basically reset my digestive clock and unclogged my bowels.
This is why I never eat dairy products when I travel until a few days after I've acclimated to the area.
Anyways I think I'll go visit the toilet now.
