Huaguang Brand Soft-Center Century Egg

Huaguang Brand Soft-Center Century Egg

　　A traditional specialty of Jianhu County. Fresh duck eggs, abundant in the Lixia River area, are carefully selected and graded before being placed in a container with sodium carbonate, lime, tea leaves, salt, and aluminum oxide. These ingredients react with boiling water. The mixture is then left to cool in a vat for about a month. The eggs are subsequently coated with a seasoning mud and rolled in rice husks. The coated eggs are then placed in ceramic jars, sealed with wooden lids, and wrapped with burlap cloth and ropes. They are stored in a well-ventilated, dry warehouse for approximately one year before being exported. Provided by China Yancheng Network (Yancheng).
