Salt Preserved Egg (咸蛋)

There are two ways to make Salt preserved egg at home, wet or dry. I have tried both and really cannot tell which one is better. Duck eggs are preferred.

Wet Method Steps

1. Wash eggs clean and let them air dry.
2. Dip the eggs in hard liquor.
3. Immerse in Saturated salt water + liquor for 25-30 days.
4. Boil the eggs and serve hot or cold.

Dry Method Steps

1. Wash the eggs clean and let them air dry,
2. Dip the eggs in hard liquor, and then roll in salt, so that it is covered with a layer of salt.
3. Wrap with shrink wrap and put in a sealed container.
4. After 2-3 weeks, boil the eggs, and serve.
