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.
