Prawns with Regular Egg Yolk
鲜虾炒鸡蛋黄


You probably knows about Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk. But what you see here is done using regular egg yolk instead.

My daughter loves eating hard-boiled egg but there are times that she doesn't want the egg yolks. I'll use the egg yolks to make this. It's not as good as salted egg yolk but it's still rather tasty.

It's a good alternative, especially if you don't eat the salted egg white after using the salted egg yolk. Try this if you have left-over egg yolks next time.


Ingredients:
  • 10 Large Prawns, shelled and devein
  • 2 Regular Cooked Egg Yolk, smashed or chopped into bits
  • 1 stem Curry Leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar

Marinade:
  • 1 teaspoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil
  • 3 tablespoon Corn Flour
  • a dash of pepper

How to do it:
  1. Marinate the prawns for 10 minutes.
  2. Shallow fry the prawn till 80% cooked. 
  3. Drain well and set aside.
  4. Melt butter and add in curry leaves and fried till fragrant.
  5. Add in egg yolks to stir fry quickly till fragrant.
  6. Add in the prawns and toss well.
  7. Add salt and sugar.
  8. Stir till well combined and prawns completed cooked
  9. Dish and serve immediately.

Seasoned Top Shell

I always a can of top shell in pantry. My husband loves it and so do some of my friends. It's a common side dish you will enjoy with a mug of ice cold beer.

It's pretty easy to prepare so if you have friends dropping by unexpectedly, you can always serve this. Maybe, you might have to stock-up 2 cans instead. ;)

  • 6 pieces Top Shell, sliced
  • 1 red Chilli or Chilli Padi, sliced
  • 2 Shallot, sliced
  • 1 sprig Coriander, chopped
  • 2 leaves Lettuce, sliced

  • Juice of 3 Calamansi
  • a dash of Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil or Olive Oil

How to do it:
  1. Place sliced lettuce in a dish and set aside.
  2. Mix seasonings well.
  3. Add in the sliced top shell and the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Toss well.
  5. Place the seasoned top shell on the lettuce and serve.
