Haven't made anything I would like to write about these few days. Maybe I'll just share how I make salted eggs. Prepare water and salt in a ratio of 4:1. For example, 4 cups of water and 1 cup of salt. Bring water to a vigorous boil. Add salt and dissolve. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Place raw eggs and salt solution in a container, making sure the liquid covers the eggs. Cover and wait for 4 weeks. That's all!

Notes : Duck eggs are normally used but I have no idea where to obtain them here so I use chicken eggs instead. Not so big, oily or tasty, but sufficient. As for the time of 4 weeks, in my opnion a few days more or less should not make too much difference. However, there was once that I left the eggs for too long and they turned too salty, so don't forget when you started the process!
