Hello Liz,

You're always welcome. Feel free to ask me anything. I'll be glad to share any knowledge I have. Have a good day!

Hi Eric,

I agree, Asian stores make it easy for us to spot this kind of eggs. It's a bit expensive though compared to normal eggs, but worth it.

Hi Liz,

Yes, you can replace it with any eggs. Try using chicken eggs. All you need is to prepare a salted brine solution. Then let raw eggs stay there for 3 weeks or so. You can make batches of different amount of salt in brine solutions. This way you can do some sort of experiments so you can come up with salted eggs based on your preferred saltiness.

Really good looking recipe. Easy does it for me. Our Viet stores here have the eggs. But I checked out on line - good deals. I like this because I can control the extra salt.

Liz Westwood from UK on August 13, 2018:

Can this be adapted with other eggs? We don't have so many duck eggs ibn the UK.

Hi Wesman,

It tasted so good! I'm planning to make a copycat of this at home, but using different egg.

I've very honestly been wanting to try duck eggs for a long time now. I'm also pretty interested in learning to do some simpler Asian meals. Well, maybe some day I'll finally find the duck eggs here locally.
