How to make salted egg

Question

why use duck egg as salted egg?

can they use chicken egg instead?

how did they do it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use a chicken egg instead of a duck egg, I've had both kinds. I find that the salted duck eggs are creamier and richer than the salted chicken eggs. Salted duck eggs are eaten more with congee, while salted chicken eggs can be eaten with fried rice/etc.

Here's a recipe for salted eggs, that I found in my Thai cookbook.

Ingredients:

-10 fresh duck/chicken eggs, cleaned

-175 grams or 6oz of salt

-a big preserving jar, big enough to hold all the eggs

1. In a saucepan, heat 2 1/2 cups of water and the salt until the salt has dissolved. Allow to cool.

2. Being very careful not to crack the shells, place the eggs into a large jar. Pour in the cool salt water. Seal the jar and leave for only three weeks. If you leave them any longer they will get too salty. Salted eggs will last for up to two months in their jar. Drain and use as required: boil the eggs, then scoop out the yolks and discard the whites. (If you want to eat the whites, then keep them)

Answer 2

You can use chicken eggs. The texture between the two will just be different, but it's still very tasty.

You can make it at home by putting the egg in a jar of salted water for at least a month (it won't go bad because the salt acts as a preservative).

Answer 3

mix some water in salt. mix it really good put the eggs in and put it in a warm place for about a month
