It’s also vital to label your preserved eggs with dates! Generally, they can last several months, but the texture can change, so check for signs of spoilage.
What are the actual signs of spoilage? I’m concerned I might miss them after storing eggs for so long!
Look for any off smells or unusual textures! Discoloration is also a red flag. Trust your senses!

Are you all serious about the shelf life? I thought preserved eggs were more like a month, but months?! What gives?

It can seem unbelievable, but they do last! Just make sure you’re following proper techniques to keep them safe. It’s science, not magic!
Haha, I guess egg preservation involves a little bit of both magic and science! Still, I’m super nervous about botulism. How can I avoid it for sure?
To avoid botulism, always use pressure canning for low-acid foods. Make sure your egg preservation method keeps the pH low enough to inhibit bacteria!

Totally agree! I love using preserved eggs in baked goods too. They make the texture so rich and moist!
Preserved eggs are amazing for those savory salads. Just slice them up and add to your greens for a pop of color and flavor!
That sounds great, Rachel! I usually incorporate them in stir-fries. They give a lovely umami kick!
If you haven’t tried preserved eggs in congee, you need to! It’s a classic dish that feels like a warm hug, perfect for cold days.
I’m curious if anyone has a special recipe for preserved egg and tofu? I feel like the textures could balance perfectly.
Thanks for the suggestion, Leon! Do you use any special seasoning when you make congee? I want to bring out the flavors even more!
I usually go with ginger and scallions. It really enhances the overall flavor of the dish!
I recently tried this fusion recipe combining preserved eggs with avocado toast. Sounds weird, but it was surprisingly good!
That’s hilarious! I guess sometimes you just have to experiment. I might give that a try!
