    Notes and substitutions

    • Salted Eggs: Available in many Asian supermarkets and online retailers, their shells are either off-white or dyed red.
    • Vegetables: Feel free to use any kind of tomatoes or cucumber that you prefer. You can also use firm mangoes, radishes, and avocadoes.
    • Dressing: I used a splash of red wine vinegar and soy sauce. You can also use another type of vinegar, lemon juice, or a light dressing.

    How to make this recipe

    Combine ¾ cup tomatoes, ¾ cup cucumber, and ¼ cup diced or thinly sliced red onion in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon soy sauce, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss them together.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is salted egg?

    Salted egg is an Asian delicacy made by soaking duck eggs (sometimes chicken eggs) in a salty brine solution to ferment for weeks. It creates a unique, savory flavor with a denser, creamier texture than regular boiled eggs.

    How long can you keep salted eggs in the fridge?

    Cooked salted eggs can typically last up to a month in the refrigerator. Check the expiration date on the package and ensure the shells are intact. Signs of spoilage include a foul or off odor, moldy appearance, slimy yolk, or unpleasant taste.
