Inspect each egg to ensure there are no cracks. Rinse and scrub the eggs under running water to clean them. Dry each egg with a paper towel. Set aside.
To a large pot, add in the salt and water. Bring to a boil and allow the salt to dissolve. Let cool.
When the brine is at room temperature, carefully add in the eggs to a clean glass jar.
Pour the brine into the jar through a sieve to catch any salt crystals.
Place a piece of crumbled parchment paper or a sauce plate on top to fully submerge the eggs in the brine solution.
Cover the jar and place on the counter at room temperature for 6-8 weeks. Take note of the start date by labelling the jar.
At the end of the brining process, the egg white will taste very salty, and the egg yolk will harden.
Carefully remove the eggs from the jar and wipe dry. Discard the brine. Store the eggs in a carton or in a clean jar refrigerated for up to one month. Use as needed.
When ready to use, brush on shaoxing wine or distilled liquor (Baijiu / 白酒) onto the yolks with a pastry brush. Bake at 350°F in the oven for 6-8 minutes.

Notes

This brining method is suitable for mooncakes. Dry curing using salt is not.
