Inspired me to go Googling, never does take much. 15 minutes in the mud probably should have been 15 days. If I make 100 year old eggs it will be done far easier than this was. --------------------------------------------------- Not via Google, from a book I have: "... THESE EGGS SET TO A GOLDEN YOLK AND A COLORLESS, CLEAR WHITE!" Pg. 117 of 2004 edition On Food And Cooking by Harold McGee (Pidan is Chinese term for Thousand Year Old Egg) NOUVEAUX PIDAN Soak for EIGHT DAYS in solution of 5% salt and 4.2% lye then gentle heat at 160F (70C) for 10 minutes. (Yes 100% lye is drain cleaner, 100% Sodium Hydroxide, container is recycling code 2 , HDPE) SOAK IN PLASTIC CONTAINER Do not use glass because it is attacked by lye, AKA Sodium Hydroxide. So Apx 1 Liter or precisely 908 grams of water, 50 grams of salt, 42 grams of lye solution.

You know what Emmy? No one can get angry or laugh at you with your attempt. Every single show that you do is awesome even when you do post the fails. Because it teaches a lot of people that sometimes success isn’t always on the first run, sometimes it takes more than once. Always remember you are awesome!! And most important, your show is always a video that is a great learning tool. What also makes you awesome is that you talk to people when you make your videos instead of acting like some people do in a rather condescending manner. It is almost as if you were standing right in front of your audience. And this is what sets you apart from many people who have videos like this on KZbin. So don’t worry that the eggs didn’t come out the way you intended. You are still awesome!! ☺️🌻☀️🦋👍 Keep being awesome!!! Peace and Love to All!!! ☮️☯️🎶☀️🌻♥️😊👍

Nah that's dumb. There's no right way to eat food. It's food. Sure, celebrate the way it's cooked if that's how you want to cook it, but come on. Why respect a recipe? It's a recipe. What I would say though is to try something the "right" way first before you say you don't like it. E.g. if you were to just slather marmite on a piece of bread you'd hate it most likely, but if you scraped on a liiiiiiiight scraping you might like it. But to "respect" the marmite sandwich is just kinda silly. It's just food.

@@chuggaa100 I don't think Emmy's trying to say that people shouldn't be creative with their food. She says this right after talking about how people are eating this as a "challenge" and in a way that is very different from how it's eaten usually. Most of those people are probably not going to like it, and that's sad because if they tried it in the traditional way they might. They might also like it if they tried it in a newer fusion dish. But, having it as a challenge basically sets them up to think that it's gross and weird. I think it's a good idea when you're trying something new to try to find it prepared in a traditional dish so that you can see how it balances with the other flavors.

I'm American, and any time I see Caucasians "try" some not-average-food-fare-in-modern-USA, I cringe. How many "American" foods are considered disgusting by other cultures? TONS. How many "American" food products are awful if not used as intended? LOTS. How many "American" food products aren't really food? lol. From what I understand, these eggs are used more like a condiment/garnish. Imagine eating a bowl of BBQ sauce and basing your opinion of American food on that. Also, I think many things showcased in the "foreign food is gross" videos are not things eaten daily by the majority of the population - some are, but some seem to be regional specialties, traditional foods, ceremonial foods, or foods eaten at a time when they had to (famine/depression foods). I do love the way Emmy tries everything!

Looks to me like you didn't give the mixture enough time to really get into the eggs. Also not covered enough and having big chunks of charcoal in it (you should probably grind it first) ..also check the pH value of the soil you are using. You want an alcaline value. Also sometimes store bought eggs are coated with some sort of wax or whatever for preservation. Not sure how it is done in the states but maybe give that a check. And i don't know how it's done originally if you are supposed to use that kind of container for the soil or if you wanna give it the chance to dry out (holes at the bottom, etc). Yours looked really wet and muddy. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. Good luck with your next try. Super interesting :)
@alfietheelf
@alfietheelf 5 жыл бұрын
I looked up the wax bit and this might be a very good point. It looks like (at least for chicken eggs) that they're coated with an oil after they're washed. If the egg isn't washed, it naturally has a coating that makes it less porous. It looks like she took them straight from the package and into the mud. I think washing them first might be a good idea.

You actually do not want any charcoal at all, regardless of whether it's lumps or powder. The ash is what reacts to create potassium hydroxide (lye). Charcoal will not, it's just taking up space, so you're effectively shortchanging the amount of the caustic ingredients that you need. Instead, the ash should be sifted so there's no charcoal and you have the correct amount of ash. I 100% agree that using compost was probably a mistake. The very high pH is going to kill any microbes in the soil anyway. The recipe that she used mentions using soil with a high clay content, which would actually be the opposite of compost (which is composed mostly of decaying organic materials; mulch).

Oh, that's a bummer. :/ You didn't' ask, but here my 2 cents (sooooorry /o/): maybe the Sodium carbonate content from the wood and charcoal ash weren't enough to react with the quicklime (CaO) and then result in lye (sodium hydroxide). And if the mud was still warm/hot, the reaction between CaO and water was still happening to become calcium hydroxide which influences all the subsequent reactions. I read the original post: the information that the eggs are more nutritious because they would have more proteins in the end. Well, no really. The carbs and proteins (amino acids) will reduce because of the Maillard Reaction! Yeap, brown-ish color from the egg white has resulted from Maillard Reaction.

@@cynthiajohnson6747 Cynthia I respectfully disagree. I've spent many years working in kitchens and, unfortunately, I've stumbled upon the occasional fetid egg. I'm not the smartest man, but something in my heart of hearts just tells me I'm right. I'm so certain you're incorrect, Cynthia. A jubilantly affected idea, but gravely incorrect. I just see the hurt in Emmy's eyes, and that's something no smell could deliver. That's failure. It haunts me to see her joy go. It's encouraging to see her still try, though. What a blessed year.

My grandmother still makes these a few times a year, the eggs need to sit in the solution for much longer before you burry them. She lets them sit for about two weeks before and she seals the pot before putting them on the shelf to sit. Hope that helps and I hope the next round works out better for you.

From what I read you need to maintain a pH between 9 and 13. Quicklime and wood ash are both alkaline. But, maybe not alkaline enough. Compost tends to be approximately neutral, but it can be acidic which would bring your pH down too much because there is proportionately more of it. A cheap pH meter would allow you to find the correct pH and maintain it.

Doesn't black tea have a low ph? If the mud mixture is supposed to be alkaline, the tea might've lowered the ph of the mud which changes the chemical reaction. Also, I'm pretty sure tea pH varies.

I think it was because she packed it in compost which is acidic. I also don't think that the alkalinity has anything to do with the coloration. Boiling eggs in the tea will colour them. The alkalinity will preserve them but also give them a particular taste.

Emmy is such an inspiration in how she deals with failure and disappointment with such grace. Instead of giving up, the moment she realized it didn’t work she was already planning a second attempt. It’s natural to be disappointed when we fail but she doesn’t get discouraged. I need to be more like Emmy but it’s tough sometimes I just want to throw stuff. when things don’t go as planned I get really frustrated. I’ll have to remember next time “be graceful in your failure and try again, just like the wise and wonderful emmymadeinjapan!”

Interesting experiment! My (purely amateur) guess is that you may not have left the eggs in the bucketful of alkaline mud long enough or perhaps the various ashes should be sifted so that they are a powder without chunks (greater surface area for chemical reaction). I'm guessing that the heat from the exothermic reaction between quicklime and water has the effect of soft boiling the eggs and then the alkalis do their magic. And I know I sound like a nervous nanny but... once you add the quicklime, don't stir unless you have a respirator and goggles on. That quicklime is powdered, easily flies up in the air and if it lands in your eyes, nose or mouth... well, I doubt the EMTs will let you vlog from the ambulance. Stir the other ingredients, add the quicklime, add the tea solution and then stir to reduce the chance of having powdered quicklime land anywhere you really don't want it. And maybe the original mud container should be something more insulating than plastic, to hold onto the heat more efficiently. Hmmmmm, one last thought: you'll get more of a reaction if you use a strongly tannic tea. Philistine that I am, I drink Twinings and they helpfully rate each of their teas for tannic content. Philistine that I am, I drink Twinings and I know their Irish breakfast and lapsang souchong are both pretty tannic. And if you boil them, you'll get every last molecule of tannic acid out of them.
