salted eggs
Cured in brine
Salted eggs are eggs preserved in brine or packed in salted charcoal, a technique common in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines.
The process gives the yolk a rich, dense, orange color and an intensely savory flavor.
Duck eggs are most traditional, though chicken eggs work too.
The yolks appear in mooncakes, congee, and as a trendy flavoring for chips and other snacks: salted egg yolk potato chips.
