Salted Eggs or Itlog na Maalat are a way of preserving eggs in the Philippines and in most Asian countries. This is a simple method of soaking the eggs in a salt-water brine solution for more than 3 weeks, then boiling the eggs afterwards.

This was a recipe shared by the late Pinoy Chef Theodore "Day" Salonga"| The Quirino Kitchen
