Homemade Salted Eggs

I've always associated salted eggs with duck eggs but it appears that it could be done with chicken eggs. But - why use chicken eggs when Little P's colleague is selling organic eggs from home reared ducks! ^^

Recipe courtesy of Little P's aunt. I "harvested" this when my mum was here in Melbourne with me and she was hooked on this. This must be one of the few things that excite her.

The water is supposed to cover it all....

Ingredients:

6 cups of water

1 cup of salt

1 tbsp sichuan pepper

3 tbsp cooking wine (I used Shaoxing wine)

10 eggs (duck / chicken)

Method:

1. Boil everything and cool to lukewarm
2. Can use plastic container (I used glass container)
