Salted Eggs Anyone? 

This is the preferred method of making salted eggs the way Filipinos did during the Spanish era.
Eggs to be used for this purpose would have an intact shell, intact yolk and are embryo free. (Remember: eggs with formed embryos should not be used.) Neither should those with broken shells be used because contamination through those cracks causes spoilage.

Clay Method
The best clay to use is contained from the rice paddies.
Procedure
  1. Candle the eggs.
  2. Mix one part of salt to two parts of clay (1:2) in wooden or earthen container.
  3. Add water until the clay has the consistency of thick mud.
  4. Dip the eggs and let them stay immersed in the clay mud from 12 to 14 days.
  5. Remove after the 12th or 14th day.
  6. Wash thoroughly.
  7. Cook in boiling water for 15 minutes. Store at room temperature.
