Salted Egg York Prawns

I woke up this morning with a charming air of vigor and vitality. Ian slept through the night! How wonderful! These days he woke up only once at night. He turns in at about 9pm and will wake up at around 3am crying for Mommy milk. Thereafter concuss till 7.30am - 8am. On exceptional days, he will be undisturbed by his growling tummy.

Recharged, I came up with a new dish.

Salted Egg York Prawns



Ingredients;

500g Prawns
4 Salted egg york
3 Twigs of curry leaves
3 Chili padi (optional)
3 Tbs butter
5 Cloves of garlic
3 Tbs light soy sauce
3 Tbs sesame oil
A dash of pepper
1/2 cup corn flour


Steps;

  • Wash, de-shell and devine the prawns. Leave the Head and the Tail on.
  • Marinate with light soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Set aside.
  • Boil the salted eggs. ( Like making hard boiled egg) Once cooked, separate the yolk and the egg white.
  • Prepare wok with oil for deep frying the prawns. Coat the prawns with corn flour and fried till it turn brown. Scoop it out and set aside.
  • Heat up another wok with butter and stir fry garlic, curry leaves and chili padi till fragrant.
  • Add in the egg yolk. Using the spatula, smash and stir fry the egg yolk till foamy.
  • Once the aroma of the egg yolk is released, add in the fried prawns and toss evenly with the mixture. 
  • Lastly, remove them to a serving plate and sprinkle the egg white on top which was reserved earlier on. 

I didn't sprinkle the egg white as my family members prefer to consume the egg white separately with white rice.
