Deep Fried Prawns with Salted egg yolk




I took four homemade salted eggs out from the fridge after kept it for 10days to making this dish, deep fried prawns coated with salted egg yolk. This dish also can be served in Chinese New Year Re-union dinner..

OMG!! I'm drooling all over my keyboard! I have a great weakness for salted egg yolks fried with anything and even on its own. I really need to go look for those duck eggs at the big markets and make my own salted eggs. These look absolutely fantastic, Sonia!

Jes, I did not record down the recipe for the steamed egg , actually very simple by adding the leftover egg white with one more salted egg, minced meat, little water and pepper, steam for 5mins. Garnish with spring onion and garlic oil.

Quay Po Cooks said...

My Quay Lo love prawns without shells but not sure if he would like it cooked with salted eggs. I have tried this dish in a restaurant before but I didn't think they did it well. I have to try your recipe at home to give this a 2nd chance. Look good Sonia.

Cocoeriley said...

Very good recipe. I love it.

My Little Space said...

Yoooo...can not let my boy see this dish lol! haha... Prawns, his favourite!

Quay Po Cooks said...

We just had this at the Paradise Inn two days ago. Quay Lo and I did not really like the grainy texture on the prawns but the taste was good. Yours look much more appetizing than those we had. I should make this at home and try again to see if the texture is the same.

Seafood Recipe said...

membina said...

I can't understand steps 4, mix what sauce with the steam mashed egg yolk?

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

membine, sorry, not sauce but the mixture of garlic, chili and curry leaves..

Anonymous said...

Hi Sonia,

1st wishing you & family:
恭喜发财,万事如意

I guess I will ask you a stupid question here but insist want to ask u also. :)

What is the difference between cornstarch and cornflour?

I have this cornflour brand Maizena and do I need to buy another cornstarch or is that cornstarch is from the cornflour which its already mixed with the water?

I did google yet the explanation too complicated for me...hmmm..need some simple explanation here...

Tq in advance 2u...

It looks a bit like this dish also, just that the sauce is made out of sweet corn, mayo and i dunno what else? maybe also curry leaves? I had it in malaysia and it was so delicious! Wondering if there's a recipe for it so i can make it at home ! :)
thanks! creamprawn
