How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- Choose eggs that have thick shells, not too large; they are usually fresher than those with thin, large shells.
- If you observe that the egg shell is too smooth and shiny, those are eggs that have been stored for a long time, which can negatively affect health when consumed.
- For chicken eggs with hard outer shells, check if there is a thin layer of powder surrounding the shell; if so, it is a fresh egg.
- To check if the egg is still fresh, gently shake it; if there is no movement, the egg is fresh, and if it moves strongly, the egg is old.
- Currently, there are fake chicken eggs, bleached chicken eggs, and Chinese chicken eggs appearing in the market, so buy eggs from reputable markets, stores, or supermarkets to ensure the quality of the eggs!
Successful Execution Tips
- If using a convection oven, place the eggs in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 15 minutes.
- You should choose to buy fresh chicken eggs to make the baked eggs tastier.
- This dish can be used as a snack, served with Vietnamese coriander, dipped in salt and lime, or eaten with rice, which is also very delicious. When served with rice, you should season it more strongly to suit your taste.
