Step 1: Buy fresh duck eggs.

To make delicious duck eggs, you must first buy fresh duck eggs. The skin of fresh duck eggs is smooth and crack-free, and the color of eggshells is bright. If the eggshell is gray or cracked, then this duck egg is not fresh and it is not recommended to buy it.

These materials can be matched according to personal taste. Generally speaking, the ratio of salt to charcoal ash is 1: 1, and the ratio of tea to plant ash is 1:2. Mix these materials together, then add a proper amount of water and stir well. Then, put the cleaned duck eggs into the pickling solution, and punch holes in the eggshell with bamboo sticks to make the pickling solution penetrate into the eggs better. The curing time is generally 15-20 days, and the specific time depends on the formula and temperature of the curing liquid.
