Prawns with salted duck egg

For flavoring food, for now, the trend is leaning towards the use of rich tasting ingredients such as crab roe, salted duck egg yolk, salted fish and mushrooms. The idea is to use “just enough” to impart flavor and no more. Here is a recipe to share with you.

Ingredients:

  • 180g tiger prawns
  • ½ tsp chicken stock powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 4 salted duck egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp oil

Directions:
  1. Place the prawns in a bowl and add the chicken stock powder, salt and water. Mis well.
  2. Mash 2 salted duck egg yolks with a fork and add to the prawns together with the flour. Mix thoroughly to coat the prawns well.
  3. Heat the oil in a wok and sauté the prawns for 2 minutes. Dish out the prawns and set aside.
  4. Add the rest of the salted egg yolks to the remaining in the wok. Mash the yolks with the wok turner, cooking until the oil begins to bubble.
  5. Add the prawns and stir to mix well. Dish out and serve.
