Kiam Chai (Salted veg) N Kiam ark nui (salted duck egg)

My mum is quite good at fermenting food. 2 of the household favourites are kiam chai and kiam ark nui.

Recipe for kiam chai:
Sun dry the fresh mustard bought for a day then rub salt evenly before putting them in a container.  Add the first washed rice water to the container. For added taste, place pineapple skin or core and ferment for 2 to 3 days.

Recipe for kiam ark nui:
for ten eggs, boil a cup of salt with 3 cups of water, our eggs in container and pour cooled salt solution into the container. About a week before the eggs are ready, put some charcoal ash into the container for a creamer egg yolk texture. Eggs should ferment at least 28 days, but can leave for longer.
