The loosing egg also has the functions of protecting blood vessels and brain. It is not only loved by domestic consumers, but also enjoys a good reputation in the international market. Let's talk about how to make the eggs quickly.
Step 1: prepare materials. You can use eggs or duck eggs to make eggs. But it is better to choose the same natural egg or duck egg, and the size should be uniform, so as to ensure the same mature time. Seasoning materials include salt, anise, prickly ash, cypress twigs, monosodium glutamate, black tea powder, etc., which can make the egg have a unique flavor, according to personal taste.
The second step of making the eggs quickly: material processing. First put pepper, anise, pine and cypress branches and other seasonings in the pot, add water to boil for half an hour, then add salt and monosodium glutamate to mix, scoop out, filter and take the juice. After the juice cools down slightly, add quicklime and soda ash, mix it fully, and make it dissolve completely.
Step 3: dip in the paste and wrap the powder. Add in the plant ash, stir into paste, and mix well. The consistency is adjusted by the amount of plant ash. Put the rice bran on the ground or in a large basin, dip the selected eggs or duck eggs in the paste to make it stick to the slurry, and then put the eggs covered with the slurry on the rice bran to roll back and forth, and the rice bran will stick to the slurry evenly. Always wear protective gloves when carrying out this step, because lime is corrosive. Put the eggs rolled with rice bran into a clean tank, seal them, and then wait for a while. It will take about half a month to open the tank.
The fourth step of making pine egg quickly: ventilate and air dry. The eggs can't be eaten immediately after opening the jar. They should be spread out in a cool and ventilated place and dried for at least 5 days. They can't be eaten until the surface is completely dry.
