About this

Century egg

Century eggs, known as pidan in Chinese, are a traditional delicacy in China made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to months. This process transforms the egg white into a dark, translucent jelly and the yolk into a creamy, greenish-gray center with a pungent, ammonia-like aroma and rich, savory flavor, often enjoyed as a snack, in congee, or as an appetizer paired with pickled ginger.
