Ingredients for Fried Duck Eggs Serves 4
Duck eggs 3 pieces Breading flour 50 grams Garlic 1 teaspoon (minced) Chili 1 teaspoon (minced) Green onions 2 stalks (chopped) Cooking oil 300 ml Sugar 1 tablespoon Fish sauce 1 tablespoon
How to Choose Good Duck Eggs
- Good duck eggs have a shell with a little white powder, and they feel heavy when held.
- To check if the eggs are fresh, simply soak them in water. Fresh and good eggs will sink and stay at the bottom, while stale eggs will float and lie sideways.
- Avoid choosing eggs that are too light, have dark mold on the shell, are hollow inside, or make noise when shaken, as these may be old or spoiled eggs.
How to prepare Fried Duck Eggs with Fish Sauce
-
Boil the duck eggs
Rinse the duck eggs briefly with water to remove dirt.
Place a pot on the stove, add enough water to fill 1/3 of the pot and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add 3 duck eggs and boil for about 20 minutes. After that, take them out to cool and peel the shells.
How to boil duck eggs without cracking the shell: You should place the eggs in the pot and pour water just enough to cover the eggs. When boiling the eggs, add a little salt to prevent cracking.
