I getting the "kampung" type of duck eggs from this type of stall that only selling all kind of eggs..fresh eggs, preserved eggs & etc..
The owner of the shop told me to use those duck eggs with slightly green shell as it has better aroma..
Very simple to make, just need patience to wait!
fill eggs in the jar till full, do not leave empty space in the jar, otherwise eggs will be floating on the top..
My son Lucas helped me to mark the date and put a cute duck sticker ^_^ ! So today is the best day to enjoy this homemade salted eggs which need 14days to get the right saltiness..
Next time i will try to reduce the salt amount as I found not all salt could be dissolved.
This is our yummy lunch today...salted egg is best to serve with a bowl of plain porridge/congee..

i love to have that especially during the weekend.
你太厉害了，连这个也会做；）
Perfect timing, few days ago I was wondering what salted egg yolks were. Looks simple.
I hope you had a good Xmas and all the best to you and your family for 2012
对咯，好像什么都难不倒妳也！佩服~;)
I have made the duck eggs too based on the Flavour magazine -Catherine's recipe. It is already two weeks, so it is time to reap the rewards.
By the way, i have added a splash of Shio Heng Wine, instead of brandy, they said it will more flavour to the duck egg.
I didn't know 'twas that easy ! It looks good , too ;)
Thanks for sharing this recipe. The wet market selling 1 pc salted egg is 80 cents. And now we can make it our own. How much you the shop selling the duck eggs (1 egg is...)?
Mel, hahaha, actually homemade salted egg is not cheap, I bought duck egg for 70 cents one. Anyway, homemade always the best.
I have not make myself before...
Happy New Year 2012 to you and your family...
Sem, Thanks for sharing the tip, thinking to use the same salt water to make another batch, so this time i will add wine!

Salted eggs is very new to me... sounds interesting and seems very easy too... will try this. My husband loves eggs...
This is so cool! I've been wanting to do this forever but never really bothered since I thought the process was tedious. Never thought it's this easy! Thanks for sharing this, Sonia! Now to go look for green eggs :D Where is this egg shop anyway?
Your salted eggs photos looks great !
I like the one with a sticker that Lucas paste on the bottle , quack , quack !
Whoa Sonia, good on you.lol! Making your own salted eggs. It's not easy to find good & fresh duck eggs here but it's easier in KL. Some ppl also making salted eggs with kampung chicken eggs. hehe.... Thanks for sharing and hope you're having a lovely evening.
Cheers

ping, you need to get it from pasar besar (big wet market)..
Truly agreed that it's not any cheaper than buying, but at least we know what goes in it.
The yolk looks really nice la! Good job to Sonia for preparing them so nicely and to the ducks that laid such nice eggs.
We love salted eggs! Have not made this in ages! Yours looks perfect!
Happy New Year!!
The salted eggs looks so yummy Sonia:)
I love the color of the egg yolks. Nice and bright. I tried making it a couple of times with organic chicken eggs but the yolk is not as nice and I soaked it in salt water for a month. I have to try out your methodIt is difficult to find duck eggs here though.
By the way, wishing you a Happy and Blessed 2012.
Sonia, Welcome back!! My mum used to make salted eggs too but she has not made any for a long time. Your salted eggs looks so lovely. Happy New Year to you and your family. HUGS
We seldom have salted eggs. Due to health concern. Not sure what goes inside during the preserve process. With this simple recipe can't wait to try out. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend!
wow you made your own salted eggs?? that's amazing! May have to try this with chicken eggs though, it's difficult to find duck eggs, or rather, even if I find them, they are bound to cost a lot! ):
哟，
做成功的时候一定乐开怀了吧！^^
好像把手伸过去你那儿。
Love the lovely colour of the salted egg. Can't buy such lovely eggs from the market. Been wanting to make this for some time but find it hard to get duck eggs from my market. Will probably try using chicken eggs!
Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year to you and family!
Every year my mom makes salted duck eggs to use it for rice dumplings (forgot the proper English name). Duck eggs in Canada is very cheap, we usually make like 50 salted duck eggs every year.
Happy New Year Sonia!
i can't eat salted eggs, yours look really great. I'm sure who like to eat salted eggs, now is salivating over there...haha
wow Sonia, it's really easy...thks for sharing..I agree, salted egg and porridge is best friend :)
Happy New Year :)
I Love salted eggs. Very much.
But I never knew salted eggs can be home made. This is a very good lead. I am going to try it.
Do you know you can make it with chicken eggs too? We made it with chicken eggs here. ;)
;-) oh yes...salted eggs....really appetizing and tasty!
Happy New Year, Sonia!
Angie
Interesting recipe and nice clicks too.
this looks wonderful lovely eggs
Hi Sonia, coarse salt is like normal cooking salt, right? In Sydney, we can get duck eggs from the chinese butcher shops & of course the asian grocery shops but the question is whether they are good quality of eggs or not. My 2 children don't like eating congee but my parents-in-law love them very much. They always eat congee with sweet potatoes.
I couldn't find duck eggs here. :-(
I love salted egg with porridge.

Looks like a healthy meal... the yolk of the egg is so pretty...
Those bright yellow yolks are beautiful in the photo. I've never made salted eggs, but you have me so curious. A farmer near me can get me duck eggs in the spring. I may just try it!
Wow.. Really thanks for sharing this. I did not know the process can be so simple, cos those salted eggs sold outside are covered with dark ash.
One storage question: After 14 days, if you are not eating all the duck eggs, I presume you do not boil them straight away right? Should I store the uncooked eggs at room temperature or in the fridge? Do you know how long does the uncooked salted eggs last? Thanks.
Easy n of course, much healthier as cleanliness is guaranteed!! thanks for sharing!! I'll do this when the fresh duck egg is available in Market!! ^^
Just mouthwatering...looks so easy to prepare & delicious!
Fong, I storing the leftover eggs in the fridge. This was my 1st time so I am not sure how long it can be kept.
Yes, I remember my mom making salted duck eggs this way as well. I think it taste so much better than store bought ones. I should make some but not sure if I can get duck eggs here. Yours turned out beautifully!
I love love love 鹹蛋! i have to make these sometime soon!
What a superb idea!! I recently purchased those black salted eggs and my they were waaay too salty for my taste. It's good to know we can homemake this.
Sonia I love this and the picture is amazing:)
love this! Thanks for sharing!!
Unbelievable something so delicious can be so easily made !
May i know after 14 days, when the egg is ready, we just want to have one or two. How do we keep others then, just leave it in the same bottle with salt water or how? Thanks. :)
Jade, after 14 days you have to remove the eggs into other container and store in the fridge.
