The method of making Anxian salted eggs

Salted eggs are mainly made by marinating with salt. When fresh eggs are marinated, the salt paste or salt solution outside the egg seeps into the egg through the eggshell, shell membrane, and yolk membrane, and the moisture inside the egg continuously seeps out. When eggs are marinated and matured, the concentration of salt in the egg mixture is similar to that in the paste or salt solution. The high osmotic salinity causes the water in the cell body to escape, thereby inhibiting the life activities of bacteria. At the same time, salt can reduce the activity of proteases in eggs and the ability of bacteria to produce proteases, thereby slowing down the rate of egg spoilage. The infiltration of salt and the leakage of water have changed the original characteristics and flavor of the eggs

Salted egg cucumber tube

Go to the market and purchase 2 tender cucumbers with a diameter of 3 centimeters. After washing with clean water, cut off both ends with a knife. Cut it into sections 1.6 centimeters long, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh at one end of each section, forming a "cucumber tube" that is 1 centimeter deep (cannot be dug through). After digging the cucumber tube, put it into a large soup bowl, add a little salt and MSG, and marinate for a while. Then, take out the "cucumber tube" and remove the salt water. Peel off the cooked salted egg and make it even. Divide everything into two parts and press it into the "cucumber tube" to smooth it out.
