Cooked Salted Duck Eggs (Trứng Vịt Muối Ăn Liền) 6 eggs

The taste was as expected, convenient product

Just like childhood preserved duck eggs purchased in Chinatown.

It’s not bad, it’s so many ways to enjoy a century egg from simple and basic to a little complex.

Exactly what I expected

This is one of those foodie things that has no substitute. Yes, it can be interchanged sometimes with a salted duck egg, or even a simple hard-cooked chicken egg, but neither of those has the silky, creamy texture of a preserved egg. Slice one into ramen, or chop into congee—mmm. I even saw a tip that the best way to make congee is to hand-squish a preserved egg into the soaked rice before cooking. Definitely going to try that, but even just adding at serving makes a special dish out of a humble one.
