Salted Eggs

1 1/2 c Rock salt

12 Fresh eggs, preferably duck eggs Bring water and rock salt to a boil; cool. Place eggs in a crock or glass jar. Pour salt-water mixture over eggs to cover.

Yolks should be a bright yellow-orange color and quite firm. The white should be slightly cloudy and still runny. Eggs without a firm yolk should be discarded. To hard cook, cover with fresh cold water and simmer for

20 minutes. Shell an quarter.

Serve with hot rice or congee. NOTE: Salted duck eggs may be purchased in mud-pack form or in brine in Oriental markets. If in mud pack, scrape off mud, wash well and proceed with recipe.
