Salted egg is a very popular Chinese ingredient made by soaking duck egg in brine. It is wildly used in many desserts like pastry, zongzi, moon cake.., it also can be cook with many other ingredients like tofu, crab, shrimp to bring a rich oily salty flavor. Usually, the normal way will take months to make salted egg because you have to soak the egg in the brine. But today we just do the yolk. It will only take one night. It is absolutely delicious and easy to make.
🥢 RECIPE - Note: The product links below are affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you purchase an item on a linked website within 24 hours.
Ingredients:
- duck eggs
- salt
- High levels of alcohol wine
- You can use any egg. I like duck eggs because they got bigger yolk than the chicken egg. And most of the times we will only use the salted egg yolk.
- Crack them all into the bowl and don’t break the egg yolk.
- Carefully wash the shell. Dry it up completely.
- Put some salt into the shell. I put about 1/2 tsp of salt in each. Try to cover it evenly.
- Next, put the yolk back into the shell.
- Then cover it with another layer of salt. Don’t need to worry about how much salt, just cover it completely.
- Last step. Add about 1/8 tsp of the high level of alcohol in each egg yolk. Because duck egg has a weird smell and adding alcohol will help that.
- Cover it. Let that sit in the fridge overnight. Or you can wait few more days if you are patience; the egg yolk will taste even better.
- Next day, It became firm and transparent. Wash off the excess salt. It is so shiny and beautiful. Looks like gummy sugar. Put it in the high alcohol level wine for few second. This will kill the bacteria so it lasts longer.
- How do we save this thing? You can put it in a jar that is full of vegetable oil. It will last 2 weeks in the fridge.
Like I said in the beginning, there are many ways to use this, so I hope you give this a try soon because I got tons of recipes waiting for you.
I love it alot of ways but my thai family has an interesting way of eating it: you put the shelled whole egg in a bowl of rice, then top the rice with tea. They use either jasmine or chrysanthemum tea, but sometimes oolong. The tea flavors the rice and helps cut the richness of the salted duck egg while also leaching the salt out which also helps flavor the rice. It's a nice, lighter version of most salted egg recipes which are usually really rich.
Your method is different and clever - superior than other people's
1) Use very little salt
2) Use the duck shell
3) Use the high alcohol content wine
Thank You for posting... I learnt something new today

There are quite a few videos online showing ways of making salted eggs, But your method is by far the simplest and apparently get the same result, As always you explain everything in steps and clearly, thank you for sharing this simple way, I will definitely test this method out.
I did this last night and in 24 hours the texture is perfect, taste is great, the shape isn't that round rather flat but it's shiny and delicious. I cooked it into salted egg sauce and ate them with steam rice and fried fish it's very satisfying. Thanks for sharing your recipe. In where I live in the U.S finding salted egg is hard and pricey.
I will share the 48 hours and 72 hours results hopefully tomorrow.
Hi! What kind of alcohol wine did you use? She didn’t say in the video and I’m not sure what to use for that. Thanks im advance!
I used vodka then on the second time I used none because salt is also bacteria killer. Don't you think?
Apparently I forgot to share that after 48 hours and after 72 hours results. For using them with sweet cake such as a moon cake I would rather the 72 hours result. For eating them as a salty dishes for example salted egg sauce or to eat them with rice I would rather the 48 hours. But since it is just one day different why don't you try all of them and see which one you prefer the most. Nowadays I make them so often that I just used Tupperware and place a bit salt on the bottom and on the top then place them without their cover inside the refrigerator. The result is amazing I'm so thankful for the original recipe.
Awesome I'm going to try this, one small point, its better to wash the eggs first to avoid cross contamination from the dirty egg shell.
i think it's better to wash it first than after breaking it like her.. that way we don't have to dry the inside and the yolk wouldn't get contaminated with dirt from the egg shell. but idk.. it's my opinion
Great as always, Mandy. The info about duck eggs and alcohol were enlightening. Note that Google monetization heavily weighs on 4 minutes of viewing (and 1k subscribers), so make sure your videos are at least that long.
Genius! Never thought I could make salted egg yolk this way! I used to soak my egg inside the salt water, but took a long time! Will definitely try it!
I love melon buns with salted egg yolks. I get them in Chinatown in Boston, but the ones I've had always have chicken egg yolks. I have never had a salted duck yolk! I have wondered how to make these, thank you! I would love to see a recipe for the salted egg yolk winter melon bun. :)
I never know making salted egg yolk is that easy!!
Supeeeer!
By far the simplest way and least salt used.... BEST is.... making use of the shells.... Many thanks.... 😘😘😘
I love how little salt this uses compared to other methods
I have never heard of this method in making salted eggs Last year I tried to make eggs for making mooncakes using a big jar and salt but it did not work out so I will definitely try out your recipe. Thank you as always!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for showing me this method!
Three of my family are born in late January and two more are born in early February, right near the time of the New Year. Your videos showed me exactly what I would like to make and send to my family members in Japan Japan and America. I will make regular salt-and-sugar preserved yolks for that, but right now I will make practice wagashi and moon cakes using this method. I watched your videos about making moon cakes for the New Year, and also some videos about making wagashi Japanese sweets, and I think they would be both very nice to serve for our family birthday celebration and the New Year as well.
I wish you great health, success, prosperity, and happiness as this year begins to close and in the New Year.
I only just realized this probably sounds like I'm saying "Asian foods and holidays are all alike," and I know they're absolutely not. I just enjoy combining good ideas together. (I also make Thanksgiving egg rolls stuffed with ground turkey, collard greens, and pumpkin, with a cranberry dipping sauce. I'm like this.)
Washing the eggs well before you crack them open will also help keep the bacterial count down. Washing your hands well before cracking the egg will also help. The eggs are sterile inside the shell (unless shell is cracked or eggs are too old---there are videos that will help you find out if the egg is too old--cracked and old eggs should be discarded as they are no longer sterile on the inside)
Thank you for the information.
i eat raw egg everyday, I'm okay
@@someone-gp7iw, store eggs aren't fertilized.
@@someone-gp7iw as a previous farmer, I can attest that you're horribly wrong. Lol And furthermore, they meant sterile, as in bacteria and being clean. Nothing about being sexually sterile.
How does it taste compare to normal salted whole eggs in brine?
Awesome way to make salted eggs!
Bittergourd with salted egg yolk is very nice.
Yes, salted duck eggs are excellent in many stir-fry dishes for both vegetables and meat, even desserts and dim sum buns. I like them in bitter gourds, deep fried pork ribs, prawns and Chilli crabs. The mashed salted duck yolks when fried in butter and aromatic curry leaves, take these meat dishes to the next level. Absolutely yummy. 😋
Thank you for always explaining your recipes so well
I tried this before. It can be an okay substitute. However, the taste is definitely different than the traditional way, it is a lot more salty and not as rich.
I agreed - but if you want the traditional taste - you wait for months or go to the shops and buy already salted duck eggs - This is ONE DAY...
Thank you for showing me a faster way! I have plenty of duck eggs but didn’t want to spend a month making these!
Just love this channel so much 🥰🥰🥰, my Chinese wife is angry with me so I think these recipes will help to make her happy 😊
It's easier to separate yolks by using your upturned fingers rather than your upturned palm. Just spread your fingers slightly to let the white begin to fall through, then close them to pinch off the white, repeating as necessary until all the white has be pinched away from the yolk. That way no pointed fingertips ever risk puncturing the yolk while trying to pull away the white. Also, could you please post some savory recipes that use these salted yolks? I am intrigued!
So far I have 2 videos:
Egg yolk pastry: th-cam.com/video/p_gGB5cvRfQ/w-d-xo.html
Chinese Zong zi: th-cam.com/video/VrbDvc2Aw40/w-d-xo.html
You can blend some steamed pumpkin with the cooked salted egg yolk. make it into a pumpkin soup. very delicious.

Do you have suggestions for the wine? Should you use vodka or something, or specifically wine? Is it a rice wine?
Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to try!!
That is brilliant, thank you for the idea :)
i really am interested to tasting it, it looks so yummy. i never really seen people where i live make them so im rather interested
Great I love egg yolks, I will try with real eggs hope it works
You have already blown my mind!!!
Very interesting - I have to try that.
what is the texture of the egg yolk when your finished? i've made cured egg yolks before and it took 4 days for them to be firm enough.
This is great. Always wondered how this was made
Thank you for the new information!!!! I always love your videos 😊
Thank you=)
Hi Mandy, can you use chicken eggs instead. Duck eggs availability in Arizona are not that good. I watched another vlog, "Made with Lau", and he used extra large chicken eggs instead. Thank you if you can help me with this dilemma. What kind of rice wine? Is sake good to use or Shao Hsing rice cooking wine? Thank you.
yes, you can use chicken eggs. for the wine choice, you can try liquor with high alcohol content, such as vodka
Wow...great tips🥰🥰🥰thx Wendy
really want to try this!
Love 😍everything you do!!!🎊🎊🎊
hello what kind of high alcohol content wine do you recommend? is rice wine or soju okay to use?
Excellent Mandy. I want to try this. Best
will love to know how it goes when you try=)
What level of alcohol do you suggest? Here in California, wine is limited to 15% alcohol by volume. Can I used 50% by volume vodka?
So fast, very good 💯
I have always made salted duck eggs the old way, but will try this when I need them in a hurry. Great idea. Thanks, Mandy.💞
Sherry Masser so how was it

HAPPY Year of the 🐂 Ox. All the Best to everyone in 🎇🎆✨2021 😄🤞
Hullo, can this be used for making salted egg and red bean mooncake?
I have bought some duck egg yolks from my local grocery. They are in a vacuum plastic bag. Are they raw? Do i need to cook them before using for mooncake filling? Thanks
they are steamed. You should bake them before using for the mooncake. Check this video for the demo - th-cam.com/video/SYn_pdSxM2k/w-d-xo.html
@@SoupedUpRecipes thanks for your help. The video is very interesting👍
Those eggs look sooo delicious! Can't wait to see what you use then in.

Successful?
Ty
Thanks soo much 🥰🥰
Thank u for sharing. I'm making it right now, but without alcohol and it's in my fridge.
Cool video! Thanks for sharing!
Can I use chicken eggs to make salted eggs following this recipe? Also, can salted chicken eggs be used instead of duck eggs?
Thumbs up has returned!!!! Thank you Mandy
Will try soon I'll keep you posted
your entertainment is so lovely.
Looks yummy
Thanks
WOW! never made salted eggs this way before. Thanks
Yes me too. Thanks
The yolk is so big and beautiful
what can i use instead of alcohol
Hi!!! Can I use these for preparing liu shao bao?
Tysm!
Can i use chicken egg yolk?
I dont have alcohol, any substitute?
Further up she replied to a similar question. She said that chicken eggs are fine and the alcohol is really only necessary when you want to help with the smell and/or you plan on keeping them for a while. It helps kill bacteria and keep them preserved longer.
Could you freeze this to make it last longer? And then put in things like soup and it would thaw in boiling water???
can we make it without using alcohol?
Fascinating. How do you use your leftover egg whites?
You can use it to marinate meat or make egg white cookies. But duck egg white has a weird smell so I don't like to use it.
if it is chicken egg white, no problem.
This is interesting,
Great video
I've always wondered how they did that
In pastery.
Thank You.
LOL! My next video is going to be salted egg yolk pastry.
Souped Up Recipes Perfect, eggcellent (excellent) timing.
Thanks for your art.
Do i put in fridge or outside?
What can be used instead of alcohol?
Can I just use normal cooking wine?
You might want to check the alcohol level. You need the high level because it is not only for the smell but also can kill the bacteria. If you do not tend to save it for a long time you can use the normal cooking wine.
Wow that's awesome!! I subscribed to your Channel. You got wonderful Chinese receipts. I would love to see one about Mongolian beef. Yummy!! ;-) thanks for sharing the Far East recipe!!.
Um, Mongolia is a different country
Sounds tasty, great easy to understand instructions! Thanks for the upload! No idea where to get duck eggs though here in the US.
You can try with chicken egg.
Some farms and farmers markets sell duck eggs. I'm in northern NJ and found a few sources.
Can i use chicken eggs?
I like your videos, you rock!
Thank you
What kind of alcohol? Can i skip the part with alcohol?
Thanks for the video. Looks easy. I will try. But how do you after that eat it? Do you boil it or steam it before eating? Thanks.
You always steam the yolk first.
Is this the same as preserved egg? But the faster version?
Preserved egg and salted are different in texture, taste, color and the way how it is made. So this is not the same as the preserved egg.
She is so pretty
Simp
yeahh sooo orange and shiny!
What kind of salt do you use?
Very cool. Thinking this would be good in Ramen in place of usual boiled egg?
You can try it but the egg yolk is not running anymore and it is very salty. Not sure if it is good for noodle.
Help with the smell? Do you mean to infer, make it stronger or weaker.
Your glasses are so adorable
Very Cool!!😄
do thay taste te same like this ones make for months ?
I love your videos. Can you do a video for lobster with crispy noodles please?
:D
I will put this on my list but it will take me a long time because my list is pretty big now. Thank you for your idea=)
ooooh my... thank you! :)
Can i soak it longer for it to be saltier?
is it the same procedure for chicken eggs? what high level alcohol did you use?
Yes, you can use chicken egg. I use er guo tou[二锅头] - a Chinese white wine. You can use strong liquor, preferably tasteless.
Dear Foodie Lover, Wendy, may i know whether it is possible to salt the yolk in a bowl than placing in the shell. Your kind comments is highly aporeciated. Thank u😢
yes, you can
@@SoupedUpRecipes Dear Foodie Lover, Wendy, thank u for ur prompt reply. i will make it today n let u know about the outcome. Thank u so much
Are people watching this in 2020?
I'm watching this in 2021. Timeless recipe. lol
Why do you put it back in the shell? Why dont you just make a salted brine and put the yolk in the brine? Wouldnt that do the same?
I don’t have high level alcohol wine so will vodka do?
yes
Souped Up Recipes what can I use these things for?
