How to Cook Balut

Fertilized duck egg, also known as balut, is one of Jeanelle’s favorite snacks. She will often buy a several and eat them over the course of a few days.

We’re able to find them in most Filipino grocery stores as well as Vietnamese.

It is extremely easy to cook and can be done in batches. Simple boil them in water for 30 minutes.

Jeanelle loves to eat them after they cool a bit but are still hot. Her favorite condiment is spicy sugarcane or coconut vinegar but will also reach for just plain salt.
