Homemade Salted Egg 自制咸蛋

The colour of the salted egg yolks as shown in this picture is the original colour of the yolks.  
I did not edit the colour of this picture ;)

I started my Salted Egg-periment on 14th October 2015 and ended on 21 December 2015. Don't worry, the actual brining days is about 20-30days only. Mine, took a little longer because.....

The first batch - one of the egg cracked on the 2nd day >.< 
So do check your eggs if there's any cracks, this step is crucial!

So I made another batch and wait again, but....

... the water turned mouldy. 
Probably it's before I did not boil the water.

These were the salted egg yolk from the mouldy batch. Looks good right? 

I discard everything...it's better be safe than sorry. 

This was the 3rd batch. This time, I boiled the salt water before brining.

Thanks to Wahyuni for the tips. 3rd batch, it's a successful one! 

I'm glad that I can finalised my salted egg yolk recipe now and use it in my cooking. No need to worry about what it's made of . This was my first salted egg yolk dish...

Method:

1. In a saucepan, cook salt, star anise and water. Bring to boil, simmer till the salt dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cooled completely.

先把水，盐和八角煮滚。待盐溶解后熄火，待凉。

2. While waiting for the salt water to cool, wash and dry the eggs. Make sure the eggs are not crack.

把蛋洗净，抹干。蛋不能有裂痕。

3. Stir in Shao Xing wine to the salt water.

把绍兴酒加入盐水，搅拌均匀。

4. Carefully place the eggs in the glass container. Pour in the salt water. The eggs may float, use some egg holder/ small plates/ spoon to hold it down the water level. Refer to picture 1.

把蛋放进玻璃瓶再加入盐水。这时候蛋会浮上来，可以用些餐具把蛋压下。看上面的图一。

5. Cover the container with a lid. Keep in a cool place and let it sit for 30 days. 

把玻璃瓶盖好。放在阴凉处30天即可。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
