Salted egg prawns

My first attempt using salted eggs yolk to cook a dish.

Here we are, salted eggs prawns ... mother-in-law even requested the recipe from me. She loves this dish and the only flaw is that it's was a bit salty. Hee ..ok, at least I did not waste my effort. I will have to remember to reduce salt in future.

Here's the recipe if you would like to try out :) I did not fully follow the recipe espcially for stir-fry items.

Ingredients:
60 g butter
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 shallots, peeled and chopped
6-8 birds eye chillies, sliced (reduce .. can be too spicy)
3 sprigs curry leaves
3 salted egg yolks, mashed with a fork
150ml evaporated milk (if u want to be healthier, can use fresh milk)
3 tablespoons water
500g fresh medium sized prawns, deveined, leaving skin intact
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt to taste

Method:
1. Buy fresh prawns, slit the back of the prawn using a sharp knife, devein, wash and drain in a colander. Draining the prawns ensures the dish will not be soggy.
2. Heat butter and oil in a wok, sauté chopped shallots until fragrant.
3. Add in bird's eye chilies, curry leaves and cook for 10 seconds.
4. Add in salted egg yolks and mash further with the back of the ladle.
5. Add in milk, water, sugar and salt to taste. Let it boil for 10 seconds before adding in prawns.
6. Once prawns are cooked and sauce thickens, quickly turn off heat.

Happy cooking !
