Am from Hawai'i but work here in Okinawa. Okinawan food is terrific - soki, tebichi, goya, chanpurus, jirus, rafute. But at times I really do miss the foods of Hawai'i, those that I grew up with. So I cook things I miss, a mix of Hawai'ian local-style and simple Cantonese cooking. Pix of my granddaughter hamming it up at Jimbo.

sorry for my ignorance, but are salted eggs, salty?
Yes, very, very! Great with jook, and here with pork hash. Soaked in salt water for a month.
never tried it so was just wondering :) thanks!
I love salted egg yolk. Kind of shamed to say that...that's the only part I eat! Pretty greedy huh? :) Looks delicious!
Thanks for showing how the salt egg is used. About how long would you steam it. I guess you don't what the egg completely hard boiled? -lance
lance - it's steamed whatever time is needed for the pork, which cooks it hard. I've never eaten it partially cooked. Even when using as a condiment for jook it's hard boiled first. Very salty!
Just wondering if the yolks get firm after soaking longer ? I recall my dad making some duck eggs and they came out solidified...just curious
thanks
Anon - I dunno know since I've never left them to soak too much past 30 days. I guess it would eventually solidify but would be awfully salty I think. Always anxious for the 30 days so I can then eat!
awe, my mom use to make me a dish like this when I was little
doodoo - I'm probably the same age as your mother, if not older!
Just a note, I recalling eating the eggs which were solidified and they werent anymore saltier than normal. It was no diff from the commercial type which is solid :)
Just thought it interesting that yours were still liq.
I just realized that the duck eggs my dad used came from my pet duck..that brings back memories.
Thanks for sharing all these old style dishes.
