I wanted to give credit to this person, but I can&#8217;t seem to find the link now.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after checking out the steps and realised it wasn&#8217;t difficult, I was very interested to try it out.<\/p>\n<p>2 weeks ago, when we went to the market, we saw a man selling duck eggs (which was uncommon), and an elderly lady buying the eggs in bulk. I overheard her talking to her companion that she&#8217;s in luck as she will be able to make salted duck eggs now instead of salted chicken eggs. I walked forward and chatted with her, checking out\u00a0her method and confirming the information\u00a0I saw earlier (from the net)\u00a0was correct.\u00a0\u00a0So we went on to\u00a0buy 10 duck eggs and a pack of coarse sea salt home.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how I made them :<span style=\"color:#6600cc;\"><br \/>\nBoil a pot of water with coarse sea salt (or any other types of salt) until the water is saturated (no more salt can disolve in the water).<br \/>\nLeave it to cool.<br \/>\nPlace the 10 unwashed duck eggs (the elderly lady from the market told me it&#8217;s important not to wash the eggs, or the process will fail) into a glass jar (I used the Old Horlicks bottle which can probably hold 20 eggs)<br \/>\nFill\u00a0the salt water to the brim of the jar.<br \/>\nScrew on the lid, and leave it aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You are supposed to take one out to try at day 14th to check if the egg is salty enough. If it&#8217;s not, leave them soaked for another week and pick one more egg to try. Repeat until you are satisfied with the saltiness.<\/p>\n<p>We tried ours yesterday (Day 14th). It was good! Not too salty which is the way I like it, and the yolk is perfectly oranged.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we had 2 more for dinner, steam egg with salted egg yolks. Delicious! (Err, Zara won&#8217;t touch the yolk, she&#8217;s not a yolk person, so she took only steam egg without the yolk. Suits me, since I love it and I can have her share.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/06\/collage56.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade Salted Eggs\" style=\"display:block;width:400px;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll make some organic salted eggs the next round.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Pst, anybody has homemade century egg recipe?<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.net\/?p=462\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 223776;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stumbled upon a blog entry by a Filipino who&#8217;s immigrated to US where she shared the method\u00a0to make salted egg at home\u00a0since\u00a0it&#8217;s not easy to get them from where she lives.
