Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole salted duck eggs
- 200 grams cleaned prawns, deveined
- 2 whole egg whites
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 100 ml evaporated milk
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 curry leaves
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 50 ml water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Boil the salted duck eggs in water for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Cool them under running water, then peel and separate the yolks from the whites. Discard the whites or reserve for another use.
Mash the salted duck egg yolks using a fork until smooth and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy, then set aside.
Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cleaned prawns to the pan and cook until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the curry leaves and chopped chili, and sauté for another minute.
Stir in the mashed salted egg yolks and the evaporated milk, stirring continuously to form a creamy mixture.
Mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add this to the pan along with the pepper and the whisked egg whites.
Continue to stir the mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Return the prawns to the sauce, mixing well to ensure they are coated evenly with the sauce.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the sauce sit for a minute before serving over your dish of choice.
