Eating China’s 1,000-Year-Old Egg
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Century eggs don’t look anything like the eggs you might be used to. Cut one open, and you’ll find an albumen that’s brown jelly and a yolk that’s shades of black and brownish green. They are considered a delicacy in China, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Qianggeng Wu and Aishu Sun, a married couple who live in China’s Changlong Village, show us how they use traditional preserving techniques to transform ordinary duck, quail and chicken eggs into tasty century eggs.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Ive never tried the yellow ones,only the black ones and it taste really good with porridge!
Works with rice as well, I have a Chinese origin. This is my moms account as you can see by my name
@Thomas Robinson The egg whites (the black ones, I have never tried yellow) are translucent and have a bouncy mouthfeel (?). The egg whites, when cooked, are a grayish green but don't let that put you off, the texture is creamier and smoother than normal eggs and it has a unique taste! It takes some getting used to, but once you do, it's absolutely amazing especially on tofu, congee or served as an appetizer!
@Thomas Robinson like egg, but sweeter rather than salty actually... like savory pudding...
@Thomas Robinson It has a strong flavor! The first time is not pleasant, but, then, things got better. Sometimes, I search to buy one. not because I love it, just cuz it can remind me of the special strong flavor.
@Thomas Robinson Salty and Creamy. I like it but trust me when I say foreigners won't like it.
This is really really delicious. Trust me
How'd you know?
You had a century egg? Describe the taste.
TheGamerJ it’s really really good, it has this slight stinky ,earthy taste, but it is really really creamy. The texture is strange and jelly like, and the aftertaste is a lingering earthy taste.
TheGamerJ I’ve tasted it before. Pretty salty, good for congee.

@@hallucy2215 , the world is
@DefinitionOfDizy there is cheese in Chinese culture
I don’t think it’s exactly “ rotten “ egg, the title of this video is just confusing. I am Chinese and we eat these very casually. You only need like ten days to make these, not 1000. As they said in the video, it just looks like it’s 1000 years old.
Cheese is not rotten
To anyone wondering eventhough it looks nasty but it actually doesn't even taste aged like you would in many aged/fermented food, the egg white part just taste more earthy and more firmer/jelly texture while the yolk taste more earthy and creamier. Its actually really good, especially with rice porridge. Its one of my favourite thing to eat since young.
It’s mostly the texture for me but it tastes nice
They STINK of ammonia

As a Chinese person, I have no idea why this is called the "Century egg" or the "100-year old egg." In Chinese, this is called a “皮蛋” which is literally the "skin egg." And they are not specific for special occasions (mostly). If you find this dish interesting, I recommend the dish 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (congee with pork and century egg). China's KFC actually has this on its breakfast menu, and it is wonderful.
@Dino Zheng I’ve been in China for 2 years and I Went many times in KFC , but I’ve never seen something with 皮蛋on the menu 🤔... maybe some KFC dinner make them , or I went there when they finish to sell all 😅
Honest info for those who don't know about 皮蛋 and where it's came from.
It's a porridge side dish in Vietnam. But I like salty egg better.
its probably from how it looks
Dino Zheng lolol
You know, these are REALLY common in china. I almost eat one everday throughout my life. They come good with soysauce and can help ALOT with the rice.
Sound delicous ?
love it when we have them diced up, mixed with tofu also mixed, mix in come corriander and its amazing in summer time !!!
for me i like to eat it with porridge
It’s yolk has a rich flavor
How does it tastes like by look it looks sweet
i think different culture has their own delicacies, and people just have to respect that.
LilyBella thank you! The world needs more respectful people like you 🥺💓
Yeah, i like a lot of my country's national food that when i think about , is kinda disgusting. That being said, there are limits to what is acceptable
To be honest I think this egg is nothing on that Italy's disgusting rotten cheese.
Well there's that virgin boy egg, cazu marzu and several other which is still kinda disgusting. But yea.
I love your Comment! Respect should be given to people who knows how to respect
So this is what Charlie was talking about
I've had these before. They taste like a salty jello with a creamy salty filling inside and go well with anything bland. If you like deviled eggs, you'll probably love these. Found in any Asian supermarket nowadays.
I might try them now that I've seen how they're made. I was expecting something like 3 months of fermentation.
Eat it with congee. It's amazing.
@@Seb_No.13 isnt congee porridge?
@@salmon8809 yes
Thanks, this is the kind of description of flavor I was looking for
When I was a child I was so confused on how the egg is so cheap despite needing a hundred years to make..
And I thought one day it will all went extinct..

Probably named “1000 year old egg” for advertising.
One day a Grandma woke up and thought "Oh God, what if I die before I can feed my grandgrandgrandson?" Then the century egg was born
Surprisingly wholesome?

I remember once in James Corden's show they have this in the section that makes people eat gross food. I was like, "How is century egg gross? It's a delicacy!".
It has to be serve with congee, soup or something like that, have to be mix with something to find a balance. I love century eggs and I wouldn’t be able to eat it by itself.
Einstein Gautama no matter smells or tastes, it’s way less than normal cheese, not mention blue cheese or Italian maggots cheese
Yes, it's fill your guts or spill your guts... btw, maggot cheese is disgusting and a health risk banned by the EU.
That would be like eating a dollop of Marmite by itself, or drinking Siracha
People in the US find the idea of old eggs disgusting because we’re not used to them. Same with eating insects. I’ve heard that in parts of Africa where mopani worms are regularly eaten, they find the idea of cheese to be absolutely disgusting, basically spoiled milk.

@@JuicySteak223 for me it tastes very mushy and almost like a real egg but the outer part is like jello

I used to avoid eating this like the plague but no more. I do love them.
This is how I have been eating these:
1. Cut the eggs in half
2. Pour a generous amount of soy sauce
3. Add a hint of vinegar
4. Put some onions and chilli
5. Eat with hot rice
Its great to see people that actually try it out, to me I don't see them as rotten eggs but like fermented eggs like cheese
@@KenhelExcallius I see it as tea flavored jello
"like the plague". Not the best way to refer to Chinese stuff

FINALLY some one that doesn’t call it “porridge” !🙄
Growing up eating them, I love century eggs, however, I don’t think you can appreciate the taste if you didn’t grow up eating it.
I think it's like licorice. If you don't grow up with it you won't like it. I grew up in Europe loving it, when I bring it back home (SE Asia) no one there likes it at all, in fact they spit it right out again.
I'd throw up.
It's like wasabi, I can never enjoy the taste, or the funkiness of Kimchi. On the other hand, I ate a lot of preserved Chinese delicacy or the durian and enjoys them very much
Maverick Hargrave the white becomes kind of like a jelly and the yolk is very creamy, like a soft cheese. The taste is just very fragrant and deeper like a dry aged steak
Every region has something like that. I bet folks outside of India would have a tough time with local pickles.
I still can't believe people are losing their minds over this. I'm not even Chinese but I've tried it and it's absolutely delicious. I don't have it all the time, as you can't really find it here too often, but I have indeed tried it.
One word of advice: don't expect a strong egg taste. Like how different cheeses taste different (seeing as though that's what most people are comparing this to), a century egg is different from a normal egg in taste but is still an egg with a more mild egg taste.
can you describe it’s flavor more? I’m really interested to hear about how it actually tastes lol

Title: eating China's 1000 year old egg.
Man: century eggs taste really good.
2 minutes later:
Man: *yes, it usually takes about 30 days*
Me:
But did he said it will tack 1000 year-
@@Manuela.a It is a hyperbole
Minced pork congee, and a cut up century egg mixed in? - this is how you eat well. It's my favourite dish
Alyssa Tan same here in hong kong
I like how he doesn't give a f**k how he looks. He wore the same shirt while making the eggs and eating with guests. My man.
Guy: this is the 1000 year old egg
Me: Ewwww
Guy: also called century egg
Me:Ewwww
Guy: it is a preserved egg for 100 years
Me: ewwww
The Old man: 10 days*
Me: oh thats not so bad, yum
Hahaha... Great description
Accurate.
Bh
As a Malaysian, I ate the eggs too, it kinda delicious if added with soy sauce.
not best， sesame oil and one drop vinegar
Century Egg: You'll taste me as good as egg
Balut: Just add salt and vinegar
hahahaha
Eat plain it's great too
There's salty egg in the philippines too, by far what I know it's called itlog na pula.
This is what I love about culture. Letting others enjoy, and appreciate it as well. The old man welcoming foreigners to eat them shows that it’s something that he enjoys making, and truly passionate about. If everyone was this welcoming with their culture, than it it would be a warmer world to live in.
Fun fac: Despite that it sounds like their speaking chinese their not, Its a chinese dialect however i cant identify it
I can understand Shanghainese which is really a dialect from the province of Jiangsu, and this sounds like a very warped version of Shanghainese so It's likely a Jiangsu dialect. Fun fact, back in the Ming Dynasty this would've been close to the mainstream dialect for the entire country, so although it might sound really weird, it is in fact bona fide Chinese
i think they sound more like from nothern Zhejiang.
@@haozili3702 Not sure about that....lol, some of my family are from northern zhejiang and I can't understand a $%^# word they say.... sorry family
Liu LiZhe my family’s from ningbo and I grew up listening (occasionally also speaking) ningbonese. I can understand shanghainese relatively well and I understood them so I’m surprised you couldn’t understand them hmmm
Isn’t that still technically Chinese?
Guy: Started 40 years ago...
Title: 1,000 year Egg...
Me: That doesn't add up-
The ming dynasty is quiet a long time ago
Yes
The first time I eat it, I don't even know that it was an egg. Don't judge the food by it's look. It's delicious.
idk why ppl say these are ‘rotten’.
They’re preserved.
Plus, cheese is basically the same thing except with milk, which is notorious for spoiling quickly.
And they taste so good with congee and crackers no cap
Hey! I laid those eggs just yesterday!

“Okay so you have to try it at least once”
Narrator:This is considered a delicacy in China.
Me:Everything is a delicacy in China
Even you
Yummy oxygen
yea, basically
Bat soup..and world go boom
@Baby chiken hello troll
It alone can taste pretty icky, so it’s really recommended you have it with something, for example, Chinese congee. The yolk itself can be an odd texture for some and it itself tastes bitter and sour, which is why you should have something with it
I eat it straight.with sum soy sauce it's so good to me I love the firm bouncy texure
Me: Speaks fluent Chinese.
Also me: Reads the subtitles as I don't understand their dialect.
Yes I am a student of Mandarin but I can't understand the couple at all.
yeah do you know what dialect it is? i only speak cantonese :/
It sounds like they are speaking Mandarin, but with voices consonants.
I am a local and i need to read the english subtitle to understand his mandarin lol
So after consulting with experts, it's confirmed a Mandarin-Wu mixed tongue, and that's where the voiced consonants comes from.
Omg her voice made me so homesick as it sounds so similar to my maternal grandmother's Mandarin, whose native tonguage is Wu Chinese.
If you don't know what Wu Chinese is, Shanghaiese is a dialect of Wu Chinese, although Shanghaiese phonology is a bit degenerated among all varieties of Wu Chinese.
Cant believe that they took that off the meny at Salty’s
