As we have seen together in the title of this paper we will discuss a typical food of my country Indonesia. Perhaps this type of food is also in your country but maybe not I do not know it, therefore I acknowledge the theme of this paper intend to introduce food that is not less delicious with other foods in my country that you may have heard or maybe you ever tasted.

As the name suggests is salted eggs, it is definitely in your mind that salted eggs and may arise in your mind what's so special? or maybe also how hard to make it? just take an egg in salt and finish it. But this is not all that simple like the old saying in my country that is often said since the first is "do not know then no love" Yes like that also the writing that I made this. So keep going to read this article to find out what the hell is this egg special.

Selection of duck eggs

In the manufacture of salted eggs do use duck eggs, so very easy indeed do get duck eggs anywhere. But not as easy as duck eggs will be used to make salted eggs, duck eggs should really be in select from ducks who consume fish is completely pointless for this salted egg has a distinctive flavor of salted egg and a distinctive color inside the salted egg itself.

A good salt egg will be red in the egg yolk that we usually find in most eggs, the process of red core in this egg occurs the factor of food consumed by the duck itself.

After we get the type of duck eggs suitable to make salted eggs, then we enter in the process of making salted eggs.

The process of making salted eggs

At this stage of making this salted egg we first have to clean the eggs from the rest of the dirt that may be attached to the egg. In addition we have to scrub the egg shell to make the pores in the egg shell that use for salty taste in the gam can enter into the duck egg.

After the eggs are cleaned and rubbed using salted egg water in dry until completely dry then we enter the second stage of the marinated stage of the duck egg.

The process of marinating eggs

This is a very important stage for making the eggs salty and has a distinctive savory taste when consumed, while the media in the shell other than salt is the burnt husks of rice husk or can also use the burnt husks of wheat bran. then mixed together with coarse salt and in the lumuri of the eggs itself as for the salt composition is never a benchmark depending on the taste of each. When liking a very salty taste can use a lot of salt and vice versa.

After this process is complete we have to wait up to 20 days for the eggs to be really salty and have a distinctive savory taste.

After 20 days the eggs can be harvested because it has become salty and has a savory taste that becomes a distinctive taste of salted eggs.

Although it can be harvested and in consumption there is one more stage that becomes a habit in making salted eggs that are roasting eggs using the oven. This is useful for the eggs to have long-lasting resistance even though not in the refrigerator, usually salted eggs that go through the process of grilling visas lasted up to 2 years.

Roasting process

As I explained above the roasting process is useful to make eggs have a long durability. Usually ovens are in use here is still very simple as in the picture below.

Roasting time using this oven approximately 3 hours using a small fire, the use of the egg so as not to burn.

After 3 hours the process of roasting eggs is ready to be consumed either eaten directly or in oah back into various recipes of other salted eggs, but I prefer to eat directly salted eggs without in if to other types of cooking.
