Egg Preservation: Giam Neng / Salted Duck Eggs


"Giem Neng" basically means 'salted egg'. It is delicious served with congee! Duck eggs are traditionally used for "giam neng" but you can use chicken eggs as well.

Ingredients

Duck (or chicken) eggs
Sea Salt
Water

Method

In a saucepan, boil enough water to cover the number of eggs you have. Add salt until no more dissolves in the water. Allow the water to cool to room temperature. Arrange your eggs in a non-reactive jar. Cover the eggs with the brine. Make sure that all the eggs are totally submerged in the brine solution. Allow the eggs to brine for 30 days.
