What to do with the leftover salted egg white? I use it to steam with minced pork, another simple and yummy steamed egg dish..
Jes, I did not record down the recipe for the steamed egg , actually very simple by adding the leftover egg white with one more salted egg, minced meat, little water and pepper, steam for 5mins. Garnish with spring onion and garlic oil.



Serves 4 - 5
Ingredients
8 - 10 large shrimps, shelled (may use frozen shelled prawns)
4 pieces of salted duck egg yolk, cooked and chopped
2 stalks of curry leaf (remove stem, use only the leaves)
2 tablespoons of butter

½ teaspoon of chicken granule
Pinch of salt and sugar
2 cloves of garlic, minced

Seasoning:
1 teaspoon of chicken granule
1 teaspoon of grounded white pepper

2 egg yolk (chicken egg), beaten
1 tablespoon of corn starch (for dusting)

½ cup of cooking oil, or amount enough to submerge the entire prawn (for frying)

Method
1) Devein (cut a slit at the back of the prawn to remove its vein), rinse and pat dry the shelled prawns. Season with chicken granule and pepper for 30 minutes or longer.

2) Briefly chop the cooked salted egg yolk, and set aside.

3) Dip shelled prawns in beaten egg yolk. Then, dust the prawns with corn starch. Heat wok with oil over medium-high fire, and then, put the prawns in the hot oil to deep fry for 15 seconds and immediately remove from wok and drain on strainer. Return the cooked prawns into the hot oil for another few seconds and remove to drain on strainer again. Set aside.


4) Remove excessive oil in wok, leave only 1 - 2 tablespoons and reduce heat to medium fire. Add in minced garlic and curry leaves and stir fry till aroma releases. Then, further reduce heat to low fire, melt butter in wok and add in salted egg yolk. Use the spatula to mash and stir-fry the yolk (in quick circular motion) immediately. Once the ingredients appear foamy and aroma of the mashed yolk releases, return prawns to the wok and add in chicken granule, sugar and salt. Toss all the ingredients till well blended. Dish up, and serve with steamed white rice.
