Chinese red eggs
Chinese red eggs are bright pink hard-boiled chicken eggs used in Chinese cuisine. After boiling, a wet red calligraphy paper is wiped over the eggs to create a pink coloring.
In Chinese culture, it is common to hold a ginger and red egg party at the baby's first-year birthday where the baby's name is usually announced to friends and family for the first time. One might find a bowl of brightly coloured boiled chicken eggs on the guests' buffet or serving tables, or the hosts hand out the red-dyed eggs, symbolizing joy and renewed life. Sometimes the red eggs are also given to adult friends and family members for their birthdays.
