"That's why I say, this is a duck egg pickled using a special method from Great Xia. If it were just an ordinary duck egg, after cooking, it would be almost indistinguishable from a chicken egg, just slightly softer."
Lin Chen himself didn't know how salted duck eggs were made, so he passed it off vaguely, which instead piqued these foreigners' intense curiosity.
There's ready-made salted egg yolk for sale in Chinese supermarkets, the kind that's packed. He didn't buy those, opting for these whole salted duck eggs instead.
He had tried before; the aroma and fat content of ready-made salted egg yolks were not as rich as those from salted duck eggs. They didn't look as good either.
If you want to make a delicious dish, you absolutely cannot skimp on the choice of ingredients.
As for the salted egg whites that are peeled out... he hadn't thought of any good way to handle them for now. If nothing else works, he could only use them to make congee.
