Make a Popular Delicious Dish in a Few Simple Steps ------ Five-Spice Salted Duck Eggs

Duck eggs cure in a fully saturated spiced brine, simmered with fragrant spices first so the salt carries warm anise and cinnamon notes deep into each yolk.

Instructions

    First, wash the purchased duck eggs clean with clear water and place them in a colander for later use.

    Add salt to the spiced water.

    Add while stirring, so that the salt dissolves quickly. Keep adding salt until it reaches a completely saturated state, which means there is no solid salt left in the water.

    Turn off the heat and let the spiced water cool. Add an appropriate amount of white liquor to the spiced water and stir evenly.

    Place the dried duck eggs into a clean, airtight container (no oil, no water). They must be completely dried; if there is still moisture when placing them in, wipe them clean with kitchen paper before putting them in.

    Pour the spiced water into the duck eggs, making sure the spiced water covers the duck eggs. There is no need to filter it. Seal it and store it in a cool place.
