Salted Eggs


Servings: 12
Ingredients: 

  • 1 1/2 c  Rock salt
    • 

  • 4 c  Fresh water
    • 

  • 12    Fresh eggs, preferably duck
    • 

  • -eggs

Bring water and rock salt to a boil; cool. Place eggs in a crock or
glass jar. Pour salt-water mixture over eggs to cover. Cover crock
and let stand in a cool place (not refrigerator) for three weeks.
Remove eggs from salt bath and store them in the refrigerator if not
ready to use immediately. Yolks should be a bright yellow-orange
color and quite firm. The white should be slightly cloudy and still
runny. Eggs without a firm yolk should be discarded. To hard cook,
cover with fresh cold water and simmer for 20 minutes. Shell an
quarter. Serve with hot rice or congee.

NOTE: Salted duck eggs may be purchased in mud-pack form or in brine
in Oriental markets. If in mud pack, scrape off mud, wash well and
proceed with recipe.
