Homemade Salted Egg: Itlog na Maalat

It`s my second attempt, and finally got it right! We`ve been craving for pinoy dishes these past few months, and one of the simplest joy of being pinoy is eating salted egg. Love them with bangus, though it`s kinda hard to find milkfish here. Anyway, we enjoyed our salted egg with pan fried pork bbq and rice rice rice.. Actually its easy to make salted egg, the waiting part is kinda long.. well patience is a virtue.. we bought a large glass container, (the usual garapon from the usual tindahan sa atin). What I did? boiled some water, just enough to submerge all the eggs.. then add some salt.. actually not some.. lots of salt, until the water becomes supersaturated (salt can no be longer dissolve), then set aside until the water is cold enough. Pour the super saturated water in the container, add the eggs, sealed it, and waited for 12 days.. or 14 days, boiled the egg with the supersaturated water and voila! salted egg na! (try 2 eggs first, if its not that salty for you, wait for another day or so.. until your desired saltiness is met)
