    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Jade, after 14 days you have to remove the eggs into other container and store in the fridge.
