About Salted Duck Egg

Salted duck egg is a duck egg cured in brine and used in Chinese and Filipino dishes. It is commonly served boiled, steamed, or incorporated into rice, vegetables, sauces, pastries, and other savoury preparations. The shell is usually retained during curing and removed before eating.

The white is firm and distinctly salty, while the yolk becomes rich, dense, and crumbly, often with a pronounced savoury flavour. Longer curing generally produces a firmer, saltier egg; cooking also changes the white and yolk from raw and fluid to set.

A cured egg is typically sold whole in its shell, with a pale shell and a cooked white surrounding a yellow to deep orange yolk. It may also be sold cooked, peeled, or separated into white and yolk for use as recipe ingredients.

Official national food-composition reference. The displayed food form is part of the estimate; cultivar, recipe, brand, processing and preparation can change values.

Portions & preparation

Use the edible salted egg contents and identify whether the reference includes the white, yolk, or whole egg. Curing changes the form from fresh duck egg, and cooking method affects the served portion. Dishes using crumbled yolk, sliced egg, or fillings should be assessed with their accompanying ingredients.

Compare the right form: Match salted duck egg by whole edible egg or separated component, and specify cured, boiled, baked, or incorporated form.

Diet considerations

Salted duck egg is animal-derived, containing duck egg cured in brine. Compatibility changes with added dairy, seafood, meat, sauces, or cereal ingredients in the dish. Commercial products may include additional curing or flavoring components, so brand and recipe details matter. Do not generalize from fresh duck egg.
