This is definitely an once in a blue moon indulgence because of it's cholesterol. I used to make it more 'wet' by having more butter and salted yolk. I have cut-down on both items here for health reasons. Hence, it looks a bit dry here. Nonetheless, the taste is still the same.

- 1/2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil

How to do it:
- Trim off the legs, antenna and the sharp thingy on the head off the prawns.
- Slit the back of prawns, using either a kitchen scissor or knife.
- Devein and clean the prawns.
- Marinate the prawns for 10 minutes.
- Deep fry till 80% cooked.
- Drain well and set aside .
- Meanwhile, steam the salted egg yolks for 10 minutes or till just done.

ReplyDeleteFor the salted egg yolk, I crack opeh the egg and just take the egg yolk to steam?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you can do that or boil the whole egg and remove the yolk when it's cooked.
