How To Make Century Eggs At Home（No Lead, No Mud, No Bran）

[@paulgdlmx]

I have been doing this for years. for 1 lt water 50 g salt and 50 g caustic soda. Here in the tropics it is too warm to leave at room temp so I discovered that 13 day in the fridge makes beautiful golden eggs. I then wrap each in cling wrap for another 10 days or so. It works for me.

[@funkidz88]

what about the taste? was it bitter? I live in Indonesia, which is tropical country. Ive never tasted century eggs before. Maybe you can describe it, because I am going to try this video :)

[@paulgdlmx]

@@funkidz88 Here in Guadalajara, México ( 1,500 mts altitude) it is always a bit warm in spite of the altitude so I use the fridge. The taste seems to be a bit like aged French cheese which I think is absolutely delicious. I eat them with a bit of grated ginger and drops of soy sauce. When I have done it at room temperature I always had many failures.

Hola!! Donde compras el hidróxido de sodio grado alimenticio?? 😄 y te salen negros o doraditos? Se ven increíbles y quiero intentarlo también!

[@paulgdlmx]

@@funkidz88 Not at all bitter, very much like aged French cheese.

[@vasyapupken]

this recipe is much harder than it looks on video. very sensitive to temperature and egg size. i highly recommend in the first try take some extra eggs to check one every day after initial week. it is very important to not overdo them. (they are screwed easily)

[@clee5653]

Very detailed instructions, will try later. However, I still believe century eggs are best tasted in congee or soup.

[@ethanpayne4116]

rice porridge with century eggs, ginger, and sesame oil is an incredible dish

[@iSqu3aKs]

Thank you for your video! I learned a lot. Do you mind answering a few questions? Is it possible to reuse the solution for the next batch of eggs? And after the egg is cured and sealed, how long can I store it unrefrigerated?

[@vasyapupken]

1. in this process Na+ ions from solution saturate eggs. so the solution gets exhausted. so no. you'd better to dilute it 3-4 times and flush in a toilet )) (safe) 2. bacterias really doesn't appreciate this recipe so eggs can be stored for 4-6 months in 16-20C temp and low humidity. but they can dry out. (if you live in 30C 90% humidity zone - fridge is highly recommended for any food product)

[@BigboiSohoe]

How do you storage ur after the wax? Just refrigerate it?

[@gaminglord9369]

I did as told in the video but didn't succeed. Solution ruptured the plastic container similar to the one shown in the video. Then I used glass container that one also broke. After that I used ceramic mug with closed lid. And sealed it so that air doesn't go in or out. After ten days I checked and nothing was left in it. No egg(no egg shell and no sign on egg like it was never there) no water no Sodium hydroxide crystals(as it can sit at the bottom).

[@pawanyadavaps]

May be you used too much caustic soda.

Im sorry I don’t know why this is so funny 😅 Im sorry you lost your egg 😢

I did with chicken egg for 15 days the egg shrink but the color just fineblack but the taste so strong and cant even swallow i think the solution very strong or overdo it

Yes, it's very good for health

Followed the instructions to

[@leek8290]

To every detail, the eggs are completely untouched by the chemicals. Fresh as new 13 days in. I will never try this again what Waste of money, effort, and time

May I know what are the alternatives for bee wax and paraffin wax ?

[@WizardRose99]

Kling wrap.

[@doygutierrez3186]

Why only green tea can be used

[@g.h.7661]

You should be able to use black tea as well! But I believe the process/chemicals used for that version may be different.

[@Mxm9966]

For the same amount of solution, can I add more eggs instead of 12? I wanted to make large batch for families and tripled the solution following the same ratio but it didn’t work. Maybe too strong? The egg yolks were formed but not the egg whites. Any help would be appreciated.

[@zliu2111]

Yeah, I have used 2L solution for 35 eggs

[@fudes587]

Can i put it in fridge?

[@paulgdlmx]

I used this formula, I put the eggs and liquid in a ziplock bag, squeezed out the air and put the bag in the fridge. I did this on 15 May. Today, 31 May - only 15 days -- I tried one. Absolutely perfect, golden, even better than the foto in the video. Perhaps a tiny bit less strong flavour than the room temp black eggs, but still excellent.

How are you, thank you for keep us updated, i always watched your videos, please keep sharing new update, stay connected.

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

I just looked up if sodium hydroxide can damage glass and it can! That is so scary!

[@scottsolar5884]

Only very strong hot solutions will harm glass. This weak cold solution will be fine.

[@billlee2590]

Can this be done with chicken eggs or does it have to be duck eggs?

[@duaomar]

Any egg

[@vasyapupken]

it can be any egg but here is a catch - recipe in video is for duck eggs. basically all you do is saturating an egg with Na+ ions. that's all. so the process depends on egg size. chicken eggs smaller than duck ones so they need less time in solution.

[@jonysusanto8333]

Do the eggwhite taste bitter? Mine taste bitter, is it fail or success?

[@BigboiSohoe]

Mine tastes bitter even when store brought. But that goes away when I boiled it like you’re boiling salted duck eggs. Idk what happens to the taste after boiling it but it goes away .

[@serenitythyme219]

That’s wild 😮

Do I cook them ???

So much work just to eat a egg... i prefer soft boiled eggs, they are packed with nutrients as opposed to those nasty ear wax eggs.

[@analynsimbajon2827]

Try it, it's delicious

[@g.h.7661]

I think you’ll find you’ve probably not tried a decent enough preserved egg. A lot of the ones you can get at the store are cheaply made with chemicals that allow them to rapidly complete the preservation process but which will increase the iodine content so that they’re so stinky they are practically inedible. Contrary to what a lot of ppl out there are saying, a high quality preserved egg should actually taste very mild, a lot like normal eggs but just without that sickly sulphur smell you would get in a boiled egg. Like a lot of others, I actually prefer century eggs to regular eggs if they’re good quality. They have an odd smell, but that sulphur taste that eggs come with is totally gone!

[@promethiamoore6462]

It's a great way to preserve eggs for a long time I don't see why it wouldn't exist
