To make five-spice salted duck eggs, first prepare some raw salted duck eggs, clean them, then coat them with a layer of high-concentration white wine and salt on the surface. After wrapping, pour star anise, ginger, scallions, garlic, and spring onions over the eggs. Seal them and place them in a cool place for several days to allow the eggs to marinate and absorb the flavors completely.
