Hey oh

Been a longish while since I was last active. Had a wee bit of trouble gaining acesse back, but, Nicko fixed it all up XD

So, I am again "trying something new" and have not realy had luck finding a way to accompaney this experience.

This is what I am going to have a try of:

These, I do believe, are the 1000 year old eggs. While, yes, I could just crack into them and nosh, I'd much rather do a dinner or setting and would like some suggestions what I could do to make it a bit of a bigger experience.

Mangilao30 beat me to it: the only way I've eaten them is chopped up into congee, along with slivered ginger and scallions, whole peanuts, and diced cooked pork. The texture takes some getting used to -- the white is kind of jelly-like, and the yolk on the tough side -- as does the taste (indescribable), but if you get to like them, you will love them.

This sort of congee is more often eaten for breakfast, but it can be a satisfying "soup-type" meal anytime.

Although the most popular use of them is in congee with lean pork, another dish you can do is a savoury egg custard with chopped cooked salted egg and chopped thousand year egg. My aunt makes this every once in a while... but yes, thousand year egg is an ingredient that should be used and served simply. My family also serves it sliced with a little sugar for dipping to go with rice.
