You can totally use the whole cooked salted duck eggs. They actually taste much fresher and better than the packaged yolks. However I cannot think of a great way to use the whites. They are very salty and do not taste as nice as the yolks. I think you might be able to chop them really fine and add to stir fries (or braised tofu dishes like this) to replace the salt.
In China we serve the whole salted duck eggs with plain congee, but it won’t taste that good if you only use the whites.

I’m excited to try this; it sounds delicious! My local market has whole cooked salted duck eggs, but I didn’t see just the yolks by themselves. If I buy the whole eggs to make this recipe, what sorts of things would you suggest doing with the whites left over? Thanks!

Loved all the ingredients and had everything to make this! Had this in Shanghai, but don’t really like crab roe so this was great.

Sorry for the confusion! I initially tested the recipe with a small amount of sugar but didn’t like the result. I ended up skipping it in the final recipe and forgot to delete it from the instructions.
I just updated the recipe to reflect the change. Happy cooking and I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback if you try this one out 🙂

How much do I need to add?
