Quick & Easy Salted Egg Yolks in less than 24 hours

Salted egg yolks have become very popular in recent years and this is an easy and quick way to make your own in less than 24 hours. The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner and the demand for salted egg yolks are high. In some supermarkets, some are sold out!

So I hope this will give you enough time to add this vital ingredients to your Kiam Bak Chang or the savoury type of dumplings.

**Update: You can leave it longer if you want to make zong zi. It will be more salty. As I use the boiling method, some of the saltiness was lost. You can make it up to 5 days of curing.**

Thanks for the recipe. Can I just store the cured yols without baking them in the oven? How long will they keep in the fridge if I don't bake them?

[snipeweedan]

How long will they keep in the fridge? Thank you

[sriasia]

Hi, can I keep the yolk in the salt for more than 24 hours, to make the salted eggs harder? Thanks.

Hi Chef
Thanks for your easy and quick method for homemade salted egg yolk. Can I put the container in the fridge to preserve the egg yolk.

[vivianlai]

Can you use this after rinsing for moon cake? Or do I need to dry it out for 3 hours first?

[sandralee]

leave overnight in the fridge or anywhere?

[mogmanw]

Thank you for the tutorial :). After making it, do you know how long it will last for? I want to make a bunch of these to eat over time :)

I have a question! I see many chefs leave their yolks to sit in the salt to cure for a week at a time, is it safe to eat by itself after 24hrs or do i have to add it to a hot dish?And I'm very curious! How do you use the yolks for dumplings? Thank you for all your help!

[huongduong]

What do you do with the leftover salt, can you reuse it again? Also, are the yolks safe to eat without cooking them In the oven first? Thanks.

Hi...As I live in a hot tropical climate, do you suggest me to leave the egg yolks overnight in the fridge or on the countertop is ok? I think temperatures can reach 29-30 C. Thanks

[sitmengchue]

So much easier. And cheaper! Thank you.

Apart from steaming with tofu, what else can you do with the egg whites?

[purpleshammrock]

Can I just boil the egg yolks after 24 hrs? If I leave it for 48 hrs would it be too salty?

[winniewon]

Should have cut it into half to show us how the texture like!
