I love these eggs and I love how you've written about them :)
One way my friend used to cook with these eggs was do steamed scrambled eggs with chopped up bits of this preserved egg and salted egg in it. It was yummilicious! Thanks for the beautiful reminder of one of my fave Chinese delicacies :)
That might be the best way to get foreigners to try it... hidden amongst a bunch of other normal, or should I say
boringclassic egg bits ;)I love it too @redrica and funnily enough, I had never tried in HK.
Haha maybe so ;)
Yea I guess it's not something you'd find very commonly in HK cafes/restaurants dishes, but it's easy enough to buy in markets for home cooking. Here in the UK, it's the same, you wouldn't find it as a common dish in a standard Chinese restaurant, I can get it in a Chinese supermarket at least, but not for very cheap.
