Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g skinless chicken breast
- 50 g cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pieces salted duck egg yolks
- 100 ml low-fat milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece bird's eye chili, finely chopped
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 50 ml water
- 2 pieces spring onion, chopped
Instructions
Cut the skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a pot, boil the salted duck eggs for 10 minutes. Let them cool, then extract the yolks and mash them into a paste.
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the same non-stick pan over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic, chopped chili, and curry leaves until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the mashed salted egg yolks to the pan, stirring continuously while adding low-fat milk to form a creamy mixture.
Return the chicken pieces to the pan, tossing them in the salted egg mixture.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce and water. Stir until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
