Followed mywoklife n another site recorded in my blog. Combined the 2 so that I make use both egg white n yolk.


Peel prawns n devein.
Marinade at least 1/2h.
Separate duck egg yolk fr egg white. Keep the egg white for use to make steamed minced meat egg.
Steam salted egg yolks 6 min ( start fr time water is boiling).
Mash egg yolk w fork to small pcs.

Heat the oil in wok (use wok so tat oil is deeper as concave base). Do not re use oil coz the sediments tend to stick to wok.

Mix marinated prawn w chicken egg yolk.
Coat w corn flour.
Make sure oil is v hot ( bubbling n smoking).
Add prawn in for < 1 min (<30s). Once light brown, scoop m drain oil. Then return to hot oil again briefly n remove n drain again n set aside.

In neoflam, put 1 tbsp oil n stir fry garlic till fragrant. Thk curry lv also add at this stage.
Add butter n melt in low heat.
Add mashed salted egg yolk n use ladle to press n break it up n stir quickly in circular motion.
Once mixture turns foamy, add prawns n mix well so that they r well coated. Sprinkle pinch of salt n sugar n mix again.
