Ingredients
- fertilized duck egg - 1 egg (whole, fresh)
- Filipino vinegar - watch the video to see (for dipping)
Instructions
- Boil the Balut: Carefully drop the fertilized duck egg into boiling water and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
- Cool and Prepare to Eat: After boiling, identify the more rounded end with the air pocket. Crack open this end carefully to expose some liquid inside.
- Slurp the Broth: Sip the liquid inside like a soup, which tastes similar to chicken broth.
- Eat the Balut: Dip the exposed part in Filipino vinegar and eat the contents inside the shell, including the partially developed embryo.
