What does preserved egg taste like?
They taste like regular boiled eggs whose flavors have been supercharged.
The gelatin doesn’t taste much like anything, but the yolk is egg turned up to 11.
How are preserved eggs made?
Ideally, preserved eggs are made by storing raw eggs for a few months in a mixture of wood ash, salt, lime, and maybe tea with rice straw or clay.
The alkaline chemicals raise the pH of the egg to 9–12 or even higher and break down some of the proteins and fats in the egg into flavorful molecules.
