Cambodian Homemade Salty Eggs Recipe
Salty eggs are a staple breakfast in Cambodia. They are made with strong eggs, and are therefore not for the faint of heart, but when you have tried them you will understand why they are so popular.
Salty eggs are a staple of the Cambodian diet. The dish is made with salted eggs, and is not the same as the salted eggs found in the states. Salty eggs are made by mixing raw eggs in a large container with salt, and then stirring the mixture until it forms a thick slurry. The mixture is then placed in a container with enough water to cover it, and then set in the sun, where it is expected to ferment for 3 days. While the eggs are fermenting, it is tradition to eat the eggs twice a day for a week, and then stop. Salty egg can be found on the menus of many Cambodian restaurants, and can be purchased in the states as well.
Salty eggs are found in a lot of Asian cuisines, and this is a very popular egg dish in Cambodia. Salty egg is a simple snack where you mix salted eggs with sliced onions and chili paste. It is very easy to make, and it is usually eaten with rice, and it is available in most street stalls.
