Homemade salted egg yolk sauce （咸蛋黄酱）

You probably have seen quite a few of my recipes which were made with salted egg yolk sauce. Among those recipes, other than fresh salted egg yolk crumbs, I always added 1 or 2 tablespoons of homemade salted egg yolk sauce to make the dish looks even more creamy.

Before that, I never known that salted egg yolk sauce in a jar was being sold in the market. What I found on the supermarket shelf was salted egg yolk powder, which today’s restaurant chefs are latching onto people’s love for them.

I bought the powder form, believe me or not, I throw it after being used for not even more than ten times. It is packed in a huge package of 800 grams, hard to finish the whole pack, end up it was expired. The other reason was there was many “side ingredients” for the powder other than just “salted” eggs. Until one day I bought it from the local bakery that I used to. In fact, this salted egg yolks sauce was not for sell, it was for their own usage. After a small chat with the chef, he sold me a small jar of the sauce. I was extremely happy about that.

Salted egg yolk sauce in a jar is not accessible where I live. Delivery was not an option. What a hassle! Finally, I made the choice to prepare my own salted egg sauce. In order to create a smooth mixture, I blended it with hand mixer or you can strain through a mesh skimmer to get a smooth mixture.

With this easy and straight forward recipe, you can use this homemade salted egg yolk sauce to cook with fired chicken, fried bitter guard, Fried lotus roots or Fried mud crabs .Even fast food restaurants drizzle the crispy sizzling fries with this umami sauce. You can probably already see how alluring this salted egg yolk sauce is.

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavor of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial. You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness. Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried. For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can wash, cut...

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pumpkin Sago Dessert（南瓜西米露）

Pumpkin is a very good food material, suitable for men, women and children. Although it tastes very sweet, it does not contain high sugar content. It can even be eaten by diabetics. Pumpkin sago is a dessert that many people like because it does not harm the body. So, how to make pumpkin sago? This creamy, smooth pumpkin sweet soup is one of my favorites. So aromatic with coconut milk. Since the soup tends to thicken, I prefer it to serve hot rather than cold. I prefer to cook coconut milk in the soup with a little salt. Coconut milk is naturally sweet and rich. Salt helps to balance these flavors, making the soup more palatable and enjoyable. Others may prefer to drizzle some coconut milk on top before serving. The main ingredients of pumpkin and sago are pumpkin and sago. The general method of cooking sago is to boil water in a pot, pour in sago and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes.
