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

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 Spareribs With Sand Ginger (沙姜蒸排骨)

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...
