Salted Preserved Eggs Recipes
SALTED PRESERVED EGGS
Salting eggs is a simple preservation method used throughout Asia. Egg shells are porous, and after weeks of curing eggs in brine, the yolks turn bright yellow and richly flavored, while the whites become creamy and salty. The salted eggs are usually boiled and eaten as a snack or light meal with plain rice or Basic Rice Soup (page 67). The yolks are also used alone in special preparations, such as Moon Cakes (page 300). Traditionally, duck eggs are salted, but chicken eggs are easier to find and more affordable in the United States. Any kind of salt works, but fine sea salt doesn't crystallize after boiling like both regular table salt and pickling salt sometimes do.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the salt and water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Carefully place the eggs into a large earthenware crock, glass jar, or plastic container. Pour the cooled brine over the top. To keep the eggs submerged, place a quart-sized zip-top plastic bag half filled with water or a small dish on top. Set the eggs in a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 weeks.
- The curing time depends on how salty you like the eggs. During the last week of curing, test the readiness of the eggs by taking one from the brine, rinsing it, and then placing it in a saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, lower to a gentle simmer, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, flush with cold water, and remove the egg. When it is cool enough to handle, peel it and taste. If it is salty enough, remove the remaining eggs from the brine. Otherwise, leave the eggs in the brine for a few more days.
- Store the salted eggs in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. The eggs continue to get saltier the longer they sit. If the whites become too salty, you can still enjoy the yolks. Alternatively, before refrigerating the eggs, boil them to stop the curing process and then refrigerate them, and they are ready to eat at any time. Boiled salted eggs also keep for 1 month.
- To serve the boiled eggs, cut them lengthwise into quarters. If they don't peel cleanly, cut them with their shells on. (Tap with a knife blade to crack the shell and make cutting easier, then use a spoon to scoop out the egg.) Arrange on a plate and serve.

- Place the salt and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil and cook until the salt dissolves. Let it cool down completely.
- In a clean small baking sheet or platter (or anything you wish to use), place about 1/4-inch layer of salt. Separate the egg yolk from the white (keep the whites for other use) and very gently place the yolks on the salt (as shown in photos). The yolks should be intact (I have one that was "broken" and I tried to cure it anyway to see how it went, the result was still good, just not as pretty). Cover with more salt on top of the egg yolks. Wrap with a plastic wrap and place this inside the refrigerator and let them cured for 3 days

- Place a 1/2 inch thick layer of salt in the bottom of a non-reactive container such as a glass baking pan or Tupperware.
- Use the back of a spoon to create divots for each egg yolk. They can be relatively close together, but the egg yolks should be at least 1/4 inch apart at the sides.
- Separate eggs, being careful not to puncture the yolk. Remove as much egg white as possible and place the yolks in the divots.
