Century egg or pidan, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year-old egg, and millennium egg.
They’re actually preserved with a mixture of clay, ash, salt, and lime, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing.
Modern methods don’t require them to be coated in mud and buried in jars anymore.
Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green to grey colour, with a creamy consistency and an odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, translucent jelly with little flavour.
Century eggs can be eaten without further preparation, on their own or as a side dish.
Other name: century egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year duck egg, and millennium egg
