Salted Eggs (Telur Masin)

 I was excited to find abundance of fresh duck eggs in the hypermarket. I stayed 25 years in Miri but never found any except salted ones. Making my own salted eggs really excites me.... There are two ways you can make them... wrap the eggs with salted clay or soak in salted water. The later is much easier unless in my hometown I can get clay easily from around my mother's house.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Seronok nya dapat buat telur masin sendiri. Tak sangka boleh dapat telur itik segar dgn mudah dari hypermarket kat KL ni dgn harga berpatutan. Nak buat telur masin amat mudah tapi perlukan kesabaran menunggu. Kalau tak cukup lama kuning telur nya tak cantik kemerahan atau tidak berkilat. Along buat rendam dgn air garam jer. Kalau nak buat bungkus dlm tanah liat pon senang gak tapi susah lak nak cari melainkan Along balik kampung memang banyak tanah liat keliling rumah emak.

3. Telur masin yg di rebus, kuning nya akan merah berkilat & berminyak apabila sudah cukup matang.
TIPS: 
 Tip dari Mymoone Esa, sahabat FB: letakkan sebungkus plastik yg berisi air di atas telur2 itu supaya elok tenggelem di dalam air dan tidak terapung.

After one week, the eggs are already salty but the egg yolks are not and the color was pale yellow. See my blur photo below - using handphone camera did not really work well under dim light. I purposely test it so that I can show you how it looks like compared to fully matured salted eggs:

Selepas seminggu - putih telur dah masin tapi kuning telur masih pucat dan tak masin

I tested again after two weeks.... part of the egg yolks were beautifully red and oily except small portion in the middle:

Selepas 2 minggu, kuning telur dah berminyak dan kemerahan cantik tapi ada sedikit di tengah yg masih kuning

After four weeks, the egg yolks were perfectly red and oily:

Selepas 4 minggu, kuning telur bertukar kemerahan sepenuh nya
