First, put the eggs in the pot with cold water. After the water boils, cook for about 7 minutes, then immediately soak the eggs in cold water until they get cold. Then pour the soy sauce, water, rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon and fragrant leaves into the pot, bring to a boil, and continue to cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.
