Balut is made by boiling a fertilized duck egg. You simmer (or steam) it for 20 to 30 minutes and eat it immediately, breaking open the tip and sipping the soup. Then, the egg is peeled, and the insides are scooped out. The egg whites are too hard to eat and put aside. The yolk and embryo are eaten with salt or vinegar.
