Shanzhou Zaodan (wine-preserved eggs)

Shanzhou Zaodan (wine-preserved eggs)


 
Shanzhou Zaodan is made of eggs preserved in the distillers’ grains of yellow wine. It is said that a wine producer of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province spread this skill to Shanzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. The process is strict with materials and approaches. The yolk is a yellowish red soft paste with a fragrance of eggs, oil, and wine. It is unique in flavor. The finished eggs should be stored in a cool place. Before eating, the shells are removed and some sesame oil is added to make them even more delicious. It is one of the most famous West Henan style delicacies.
