Century egg (pi dan, 皮蛋) is a traditional Chinese ingredients, where duck eggs are preserved with clay, ash and rice hulls resulting in a translucent egg white and alkaline tasting egg yolk. Chinese dumplings (jiao ji, 饺子) are usually made with a mixture of pork and prawn wrapped in dough.

The dumplings here are particularly interesting as they’re stuffed with chunks of century egg. The result is a dumpling which is rich and flavourful with the sweetness of the prawn and the umami from the century egg. Surprised that there isn’t more of this dish around.
