Century eggs (pidan) – 6 preserved duck eggs, 375 g

Century eggs, also known as pidan, are a classic delicacy of Chinese cuisine. They are made from duck eggs that cure for an extended time in a brine of lime, water, tea leaves and salt. The package contains six ready-to-eat pieces with a total weight of 375 g. They are among the more unusual Chinese delicacies.

Appearance and taste

• The egg white turns into a dark, translucent jelly, and the yolk into a creamy, grayish-green mass.
• The taste is intense, salty and slightly ammoniac, so it is best served with accompaniments.
• The preserved eggs are cured and need no cooking; they are also eggs fermented in the traditional way.

How to serve

After peeling the shell, the eggs are cut into wedges and served with soy sauce, ginger or fish sauce. In Asian cuisine they are added to congee rice porridge, salads and cold appetizers. An original ingredient for people who like culinary experiments.
