Don’t soak salted duck eggs in salt water. The chef teaches you the 20-year-old method. It will be oily and sandy, and salty and delicious

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I bought 2 from the Internet I gave a box of salted duck eggs to my parents and ate one myself.

Although salted duck eggs are delicious, they are "three high" foods, high in salt, high fat, and high cholesterol, so I eat them slowly. I only ate 8 in half a month, and the second one was actually 4 of them were broken. After peeling them off, there were many black spots and they were all moldy.

After communicating with the seller, he actually said that I would pay 1 yuan for a duck egg. Do I owe you the 4 yuan? Who knows if there are any broken ones in that box? I was so angry that I opened all the salted duck eggs. Unexpectedly, half of them were smelly, so I threw them away and will never buy from this store again.

The chef talks about techniques

Although the method of pickling salted duck eggs is simple, if you want to succeed in the first time, you must pay attention to the following points.

① After washing, salted duck eggs should be dried in the sun. After drying, they can be disinfected and sterilized, not easy to break, and can produce oil faster.

②The ratio of salt to water is very important. If it is less, there will be no oil, and if it is too much, the taste will be too salty. Salt:water=1:6 is the most suitable, and it has been verified by my uncle for more than 20 years.

③ The marinating time must be sufficient. Marinate for at least 20 days in summer and 30 days in winter to ensure oily and sandy food.

How long can salted duck eggs be stored?

Homemade salted duck eggs have a relatively short shelf life, up to 3 months, but the longer they are marinated, the saltier they taste. So marinate less at a time and then marinate after eating.

If the duck eggs are not salty or oily after being marinated for 20 days, you can add some more salt and continue to marinate for another ten days. Do not cook all the marinated salted duck eggs and store them in the refrigerator, otherwise the taste will become worse and they will go bad easily. Remember to eat a few and cook a few.

This method can also be used to pickle eggs, which tastes very good.
