Learn how to make salted eggs, using only brine solution.
Salted egg is a popular delicacy both in the Philippines and China that is
widely used for various dishes.
The traditional way of making salted eggs is by burying them
in a salty clay mud. But that is a bit too much for me, so I would rather stick
to the brine method. Yes, that is all that is needed to make salted eggs: salt,
water and fresh eggs. The Chinese way of making salted eggs also adds some star
anise, peppercorns and Shaoxing wine, which I would probably try just because I
am curious. I have to find this Shaoxing wine first though but I think this is
optional.
Ingredients
- 10-12 eggs (fresh) - make sure they have no cracks
- 1 cup salt
- 4-5 cups water
Instructions
- In a pot, bring the water with the salt to a boil. Once the salt completely dissolves, turn off the heat. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, place the fresh eggs in a big glass jar. Pour the brine solution into the jar making sure that all eggs are fully submerged.
