Cute them up into little cubes or slices, cut soft tofu (cold, from the package after rinsed), put eggs on top, top with some green onions, dried bonito flakes (if I have some), drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil mixture. I've loved this since I was little.</p> <p>P.S. I've been warned by everyone though not to eat 1000 year old egg during pregnancy b/c of the preservatives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thousand-year-old-egg#post-363002 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:53:51 +0000 keiki_mama 363002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Does your mom cook the tofu before hand or just leave it raw?</p> <p>@mrsjazz: It's a really yummy (acquired taste) preserved egg! I normally see them at the market as duck eggs but I think you can use any type of egg. The yolk becomes creamy and the whites take on a gelatinous texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thousand-year-old-egg#post-362960 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:29:28 +0000 mrsjazz 362960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me what this thousand year old egg is. I feel dumb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thousand-year-old-egg#post-362943 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:22:14 +0000 Meridian 362943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom chops up 1 thousand year old egg, cubes one block of firm tofu, and then mixes them together with salt, white pepper, a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil. </p> <p>I really like this preparation though never make it myself (because I never buy the eggs either, haha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thousand-year-old-egg#post-362909 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:07:54 +0000 keiki_mama 362909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are other uses for thousand year old egg besides jook (congee/porridge)? I tend to shy away from buying them at markets because I typically don't make enough jook to use half a dozen. What do you use your thousand year old eggs for? Any recipes to share? </p>
