The first time I learned how to make tasty salted eggs I was still in primary school.

Homemade salted eggs recipe
Ingredients
eggs (I used chicken eggs. However, I suggest you to use duck eggs for even better result.)
sea salt and water 1 : 5
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
Preparation
1. Bring water to the boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt at a time. Keep boiling until the salt dissolve completely. Let cool. Add in Chinese rice wine.
2. Arrange eggs in the container. Pour salted water into the container and cover the eggs. You may notice that some eggs above would float to the surface, so place something on top of the eggs(I used a plastic bag filled with salted water.). The idea is to keep the eggs submerge completely in the brine. Then close the container tightly.
The brining process will take about 3-4 weeks. Label the start date to remind yourself.
