Century EggCentury egg, also known as preserved egg or pine-pattern egg, is made by curing eggs—usually duck or chicken eggs—in a mixture of alkaline substances and clay. The egg white becomes gel-like with dark patterns, while the yolk turns deep green or gray-black and becomes thicker in texture.
