(Northern) China here.
Eggs sold unrefrigerated and unwashed. Almost exclusively refrigerated at home. Eggs are invariably cooked thoroughly; the suggestion of a runny or even moist yolk is traditionally met with confused looks and fears of food poisoning.
Brooding of poultry is not permitted in most cities/towns/areas with apartments, but considered normal in rural areas (places with gardens).
I understand the freshness / verifiability of freshness of a chicken egg is easily determined by how easy it is to peel after being hard-boiled: thin, hard to peel (i.e. without indenting the white) shell is a sign of a fresh egg, thick and easy to peel shell indicates an older egg.
- minikomi 12y agoJapan here. People refrigerate eggs, but often eat them raw over rice. In summer, raw egg take away, is usually stopped. eg. http://www.yoshinoya.com/menu/sidemenu/index.html http://www.yoshinoya.com/menu/sidemenu/index.html You can see it on the menu there as "Talk away ok" but underneath it says from 6/1 ～9/30 no take away.
- zhte415 12y agoInteresting. When you say over rice, is the served rice hot enough to partially cook it? I love a raw egg over Korean style 'banfan' where rice is cooked in an iron bowl, and raw egg and beef / fish are mixed in at serving time (at the table), together with salad style vegetables.
- minikomi 12y agoNope, just a bowl of rice with a raw egg blobbed on top. Add some soy sauce and there you go! http://m.youtube.com/results?q=卵かけごはん http://m.youtube.com/results?q=卵かけごはん
