What properties are there, in a salted egg?
in philippines, they immerse duck eggs in salted water, or in mangrove muds and they're in these tradition for ages now.
it tastes great, and seem to be very appetizing though, its just worrying that its excessive salt content may affect health. how deos it compare to the chinese century egg?
Answers:
The salted egg you're talking about sounds like a cross between two types of eggs in Chinese cuisine.
Salted Eggs and Thousand year old eggs (Centry Eggs).
The salted egg is typically raw chicken egg (or duck egg) immersed in a brine, while the Centry Egg is covered with an relatively dry ash-salt mixture so the finish product is not as heavily salty.
Both are good and, yes, the salted egg is very salty.
Typically, the salted egg is mixed or used with other ingredients and not eaten alone like a hard-boiled egg. The Thousand Year Old egg can be eaten as is.
I imagine the Filipino duck egg is just as tasty.
