How to make Salted Eggs



Typical Singaporean condiments that go with congee for breakfast, evening or late supper - Salted eggs (Telur Masin). Salted eggs are also in abundance during the Mooncake festival locally. The eggs are used as a filling for mooncakes. Each mooncake costs more with more egg yolks.

Ingredients for Salted Eggs:
  • 10 eggs (duck or chicken)
  • 480g. salt
  • 1 litre water or enough to cover eggs
How to make Salted Eggs:
  1. Boil water with salt. Cool.
  2. Wash eggs and put in a container (preferably earthen).
  3. Pour enough water to cover the eggs. Cover container.
  4. Leave eggs in salt water for two weeks before serving.
Note: After 2 weeks, take one egg out and boil for 10-15 mins to test if its taste is salty enough. If not ready, let the rest in the container for a few days more. When it's ready, drain the eggs and wipe dry. Keep them in an egg carton and place in fridge. The salted eggs can be kept for a few weeks in fridge.
