123. Old and Fresh Eggs

• 2 preserved eggs
• 2 fresh eggs
• 1 tablespoon chicken stock

The preservation of eggs by alkaline ash turns the white to brown and the yolk to green. This colour change is actually very beautiful.

Gently crack the shells of the preserved eggs and remove the egg white (brown) carefully, reserving it. Mash the yolks and combine them with the fresh eggs, chicken stock and salt. Grease a bowl and pour in the egg mixture. Steam it for about 20 minutes
