Frequently asked questions

  • What is a thousand year old egg?

    A thousand year old egg, also called century egg or pidan, is a duck egg preserved in an alkaline mixture for weeks to months. The white becomes a dark amber jelly and the yolk turns creamy and greenish-gray.

  • What does a thousand year old egg taste like?

    Century egg tastes savory and rich, with a creamy yolk, a firm, slightly springy white, and a faint ammonia-like aroma that fades after peeling and airing.

  • Do thousand year old eggs need to be cooked?

    No. Century eggs are cured and ready to eat once peeled, though they are also cooked into congee, stir-fries, and soups.

  • What is the difference between century eggs and salted duck eggs?

    Century eggs are cured in an alkaline mix and have a dark jelly white, while salted duck eggs are brined, with a firm white and a rich, oily orange yolk. Weee! carries both, such as Asian Taste Preserved Duck Eggs and Wei-Chuan Boiled Salted Duck Eggs.

  • Is a thousand year old egg really a thousand years old?

    No. Thousand year old eggs are cured for a few weeks to a few months, not centuries.

  • How do you eat a thousand year old egg?

    Peel the egg, rinse it, and cut into wedges. Serve with soy sauce, ginger, and chili oil, over cold tofu, or cooked into congee.

  • How should I store century eggs?

    Follow the storage directions on the package. Unopened preserved eggs are generally kept in a cool place, and peeled or cut eggs should be refrigerated and eaten soon.
