Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

-

 

There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind.

Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste.

Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor.

Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.  Eat this sparingly, then.

I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating.

Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicken.  After marinating for about half an hour, dust the chicken with flour and deep-fry it until it's crispy.

Evaporated milk will be added to some recipes.  But not in my version.  Melt the butter and fry the curry leaves till they are crispy. Then, add the mashed salted egg yolk and cook until it becomes bubbling. Add the fried wings and coat them thoroughly. That’s it. How easy was that!!

Whether it is a main dish for a family dinner or a snack for a gathering with friends, this egg yolk chicken wings will become the star of the table.

 

INGREDIENTS

800g chicken wings, separate the mid wings and the drummets

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp pepper

6 pcs cook salted egg yolks, steamed and mashed

2 springs of curry leaves

1 cup of tapioca flour

1 tbsp baking powder

50g butter

5 bird eyes chilies, diced

1 tsp sugar

 


METHOD

1.Cut and divide the chicken into mid wings and drummets and give a shallow cut to the wings.

2. Marinade the wings with oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper for half an hour.

3. Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder on a plate. Coat each piece of chicken with tapioca flour, shaking off excess, and fry deep until golden brown. Remove them from the wok.

4. Wait until the oil reaches back the temperature once more, put back the fried chicken into it and let it fry for another 2 to 3 seconds to make it extra crispy.

5. Heat up the wok and melt the butter. Fry the curry leaves and diced chilies until aromatic.

6. Add mashed egg yolks and sugar. Let the mixture boil and bubble. Add the fried chicken to the egg yolk mixture, stir over LOW HEAT until all the chicken wings are thoroughly coated. ENJOY!!

Steamed Ma Lai Gou （马来糕）

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
