Salted egg

Salted egg

A traditional brine method for salt-cured eggs, where white liquor and a spiced, fully cooled solution work together to coax out rich, oily yolks.

Instructions

    Place it in a cool, shady spot; it won't spoil in cool weather, but in summer it needs to be put in the refrigerator.

    The taste of boiled eggs is really very different from duck eggs. I am at a loss for words to describe it, haha. It's better to just make some and try it.
