With a sharp salty taste and thick egg yolk texture, salted eggs are often used as a complement to various dishes or enjoyed directly as a snack. In addition to being a snack, salted eggs are also often consumed as a side dish or complement to heavy meals.
Judging from the manufacturing process, salted eggs are usually made from duck eggs. So these duck eggs will be soaked in a mixture of concentrated salt water, ash, and broken bricks. The ash and bricks help regulate the humidity and distribution of salt during the salting process.
These eggs are then stored in a sealed container and left for several weeks until the salt is completely absorbed into the eggs. The process of salting eggs takes quite a long time, usually around 2-4 weeks, depending on the desired level of saltiness. This time-consuming process can be troublesome, because it requires special attention to maintain cleanliness.
But instead of using ash or bricks, you can use another way to make salted eggs faster. A YouTube user VideoHasan once shared a trick to make salted eggs quickly in just 10 days. Well, these salted eggs can even last at room temperature for up to 1 month.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube VideoHasan on Sunday (8/9), the owner of the YouTube channel chose to use only salt water to make salted eggs. More precisely, he relies on coarse salt, while the eggs use duck eggs. There are 25 duck eggs prepared to be processed into salted eggs.

The method is to mix water with 375 grams of coarse salt in a pan, then boil until boiling and the salt is completely dissolved. After that, add large red chilies, curly chilies, cayenne pepper, and garlic that has been chopped or blended roughly. Stir well and set aside first.

Then prepare a jar that is large enough to soak the eggs. Put the eggs in the jar. Then pour the salt water and spices into the jar until the eggs are completely submerged.

To make the eggs more submerged, prepare some plastic bags filled with clean water. Then put the plastic in the jar so that the eggs on the top are more completely submerged. Then close it tightly and let it sit for 10 days. "So make sure the container is not opened and closed, okay," said YouTube VideoHasan.

After 10 days, the salt solution will become increasingly cloudy. Next, immediately boil the duck eggs using the soaking water until boiling. Once it boils, continue cooking over medium heat for 30 minutes. Make sure the boiling process is carried out in a closed pan. After 30 minutes, turn off the stove and drain. After that, you can split the salted eggs and consume them. Even though they are boiled, the inside of the salted eggs remains dry and not wet, so they can last a long time if stored at room temperature.

To make it last longer, you can wash the boiled eggs thoroughly, then rub them a little to make them cleaner. Then wipe them dry using a cloth. You can pack them in a box or container if you want to sell them. Having been watched more than 6 million times, this video about the trick to making salted eggs has immediately caught the attention of netizens. Who would have thought, many other YouTube users claimed to have succeeded in applying the trick. Most of these netizens are satisfied with the results of the salted eggs they made.
