My grandma just eats salted egg as a dish for dinner
Usually has 1-2 meat dishes, 2-3 vegetables dishes, and eggs
She uses regular eggs but prefers salted ones if she can get them. Usually her friends give her them when they make it
It's as easy as boiling rice in water. What's not to get?

Interesting you say it that way. I’m chinese/vietnamese so i grew up eating salted duck eggs. UsuAlly with congee or having it flavor pork & vegetable dishes.

I noticed some restaurants using salted duck egg i havent seen before. Like dim sum steamed buns with salted egg flavor.
Or that time i had fried lobster with salted egg in the batter.

It seems to become a new food trend.

Its interesting to see the mainstream embracing these ingredients. However the most clever use i found was to flavor the batter of a fried crab.

I think an interesting is maybe flavoring fried chicken batter with it... and frying some chicken breast pounded thin.

Haven’t made my way to t&t yet, the heat is killing me, wish they had a drive through lol
Didn't know that they sell salted chicken egg. Salted duck egg yes, but never seen salted chicken egg.

However you can make salted chicken egg easily. It is literally just salt and egg. You can use any glass container, 1 part salt and 3 part water, cover the eggs and it will be ready in about 2 weeks.

LOL, just reading majority CBC comments here is a laugh track and a half. Cmon now... every1 knows you just hop to the nearest chinese grocer and there's like a dozen brands and a wall full of them. Pretty cheap like $2 bux and change up to $4.59 or so for 6 eggs. Most peeps just buy the cheapie boxes like $2.20-2.50 for 6. My gramma used to make them herself. Just get a large jar fill it with eggs. Then boil a huge pot of water, dump a ton of salt (a font here said it's 3:1 ratio) and let cool. Then poor in the large jar of eggs. 2-3 weeks later - done. Just works via osmosis. Tons of types - chicken eggs, duck eggs (most popular), preserved duck egg (congee style), ostrich eggs - yes, I've seen them, even turkey eggs (expensive af...).
If the glove don't fit you must acquit! #WINNING
