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..
Egg yolks (before steam) from homemade salted eggs..
Just eating this deep fried prawns alone, also very yummy..
What to do with the leftover salted egg white? I use it to steam with minced pork, another simple and yummy steamed egg dish..
Deep Fried Prawns with Salted egg yolk
(recipe source: by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover)
350g medium or large prawn, (peeled, devine, cleaned and pat dried)
1/2tsp salt
1tsp light soy sauce
1 egg white
1tbsp cornstarch
A dash of white pepper
50g corn flour, for deep fry
4 salted duck egg yolks, steamed and mashed
1 sprig curry leaf
1 small chili, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Green vegetables for garnishing
Method
1. Mix prawns with salt, light soy sauce, egg white, cornstarch and pepper and marinate for 1hour.
2. Heat enough oil in a wok, dust marinated prawn with corn flour, deep fry over high until golden brown (less than a minute, do not overcook).
3. Pour excess oil from the wok, clean the wok, add back 2tbsp of deep frying oil over high heat. Saute chopped garlic, chili and curry leaf till fragrant.
4. Add salted egg yolk, stir constantly to prevent mixture from burning. Once the mixture bubbles, add deep fried prawns. Stir-fry briskly to coat with the sauce.
5. Place some green vegetables on a plate, arrange salted egg yolk prawns on top and serve immediately. Enjoy!

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.
I love all food with salted eggs in it....mmmmm, prawns look delicious
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.
Very good recipe. I love it.
Yoooo...can not let my boy see this dish lol! haha... Prawns, his favourite!

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.
Wow homemade salted eggs first time i heard.I defenetly try this recipe.Tell me the how to make this salted egg.Thank you for sharing this new recipe with us.

I can't understand steps 4, mix what sauce with the steam mashed egg yolk?
membine, sorry, not sauce but the mixture of garlic, chili and curry leaves..
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...
Eldy
hi ! this looks yummy thanks! may i ask u if u have a recipe for Sweet Corn Cream Prawn? 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
