Can You Eat Salted Egg Without Cooking It?

In Indonesia, there is Brebes town which is famous for salted eggs. Originally salted eggs in Brebes was founded by Chinese-Indonesian. The process is exactly the same as the traditional ones. But we use brick powders instead of dirts. But since brick is made from dirt too, so I guess it's still the same. We have two different kinds of salted eggs. In this video, we usually call it "pangon" because the ducks feed in the wild (they eat shrimp, fish, water-grass, etc). While the other one, the ducks stay in their cages and farmer feeds them. It's cheaper than "pangon". And for sales, usually they sell raw eggs, hard-boiled eggs and baked eggs. Yes, they baked it in the oven. Sorry for long comment.

[@spaghetti2777]

@@myyou7335 salt water brine is a very common way to make salted duck eggs

[@chimponkoman]

@@myyou7335 you didn't really understand what are the actual important parts of the process. The two things are salt and a seal to prevent bacteria from entering. Salt water brine works fine because osmosis will still happen and bacteria cannot penetrate brine to enter the egg. It might not be as dry but it works fine. Even he says that the mud absorbs the water from the egg and holds it, meaning it is perfectly fine for there to be moisture around the egg.

It's actually just a state run chinese propaganda channel, they are making a big push rn to normalize their culture in the west so their continued encroachment appears less hostile than it is

[@grinchyface]

Notice all the references you didn't ask for, like "oh only food grade salt can be used, and clean, pollution free soil" This is cleared content from the CCP, and that's why if you really pay attention, a lot of the dialog seems unnatural and contrived. (because it is)

[@totallylegit2068]

[@Nel_34]

​@@grinchyface okay I was a little bit skepticle about what you were saying that this is propaganda, but I dug a bit deeper and I found out that Goldthread, this channel is owned by South China Morning Post, a news media company based in hong kong. And Alibaba group purchased the company in 2015, I think everyone knows the ccp have quite a bit of control over Alibaba with the things that happend to alibaba's founder. It's safe to say that the ccp does have a influence on the content and what this channel can put out. I wouldn't go so far to say that this video is pure propaganda cause it does have some education value and I don't feel like I have been fed a positive image on china after watching, but idk propaganda can be real subtle.

In the Philippines, this is called "Itlog na Pula" or "Red Egg" in English. People pack these eggs with red soil which makes it red, (before) but now they just paint it with scarlet red and the rest is just like how every other salted eggs were made. Then, Itlog na Pula were slowly becoming rare in the market, and what we have now are those regular white salted eggs. We just call this now "Itlog na Maalat" which means "Salty Egg". 😂

my dad said that when he was young, he and great-grandma check the eggs under a small lamp, and as farmers, all crops are state owned and food is distributed via ration tickets, and meat tickets are separate. when he was eight, every kid gets a bowl of rice and a bit of soy sauce per day, that was during the Great Famine, and he would sneak a few fistful of rice under his pocket for his brother and mother to eat (his sister got married off early....you know, country-side life). So the eggs got inspected under a lamp, and back in the day, salted duck eggs are made with their own crop because each household is allowed to own a few chickens and ducks(that's after the Great Famine). So eggs are hard to come by. It's a birthday or holiday kinda celebration.....if you're lucky. My dad grew up with eating a lot of preserved meat and veggies because back in the day, food was hard to come by, so food distribution was something of a luck. Even now, my dad loves cured sausages with soy sauce, cured duck eggs, and salted chinese cabbages.....because that's the nostalgic food he grew up with, poor with my great grandma, who everyday goes up the mountain to get mountain herbs. My dad has gone a long way since because he left for HK at 17, then immigrated to Canada in the 90s, to have kids who can eat chicken every few days, and buy duck eggs, century eggs and live in a free society that has the biggest Chinese immigrant population in North America. He still sulks like any other old tart from "back in the day" just like any other from Israel, slavic countries, or former USSR nations lol. China for the last 70 years has been mostly living in famine until the past 20 years.
