Step 1: Buy fresh duck eggs.
To make delicious duck eggs, you must first buy fresh duck eggs. The skin of fresh duck eggs is smooth and crack-free, and the color of eggshells is bright. If the eggshell is gray or cracked, then this duck egg is not fresh and it is not recommended to buy it.
Step 2: Wash the duck eggs.
Soak the purchased duck eggs in clear water for a while, and then rinse them with clear water. Be careful not to rub hard when cleaning, otherwise it will easily damage the eggshell and affect the appearance.
Step 3: Marinate duck eggs.
Pickling duck eggs is a key step in making duck eggs. Generally speaking, salted duck eggs are made of salt, charcoal ash, tea and plant ash. These materials can be matched according to personal taste. Generally speaking, the ratio of salt to charcoal ash is 1: 1, and the ratio of tea to plant ash is 1:2. Mix these materials together, then add a proper amount of water and stir well. Then, put the cleaned duck eggs into the pickling solution, and punch holes in the eggshell with bamboo sticks to make the pickling solution penetrate into the eggs better. The curing time is generally 15-20 days, and the specific time depends on the formula and temperature of the curing liquid.
Step 4: Boil duck eggs.
Salted duck eggs can be eaten directly or cooked before eating. Put the duck eggs in the pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring them to a boil with high fire, and then turn to low heat to continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Cooked duck eggs will turn yellow on the skin and yellow or dark brown on the inside, which is more delicious.
