Stir Fried Shrimps with Salted Eggs

Stir Fried Shrimps with Salted Egg Yolk

We often heard of this flavourful cuisine and is a must order menu item when we dine in a Chinese restaurant in Malaysia. But in Vancouver it is rather difficult to even find this item listed on any Chinese restaurants' menu let alone enjoy it. So, we refer to the internet for recipes and cooking videos to learn the preparation methods to cuisines that we do not normally get in Chinese restaurants here. Cooking Stir Fried Shrimps with Salted Eggs is one of them.

Flavourful and Tasty Shrimps

We did not learn this recipe from Malaysia but here through youtube cooking videos. My wife had gained cooking experience through these videos and continue to search for the easier and practical methods that produces authentic Malaysian cuisines. Often than none, the learning may take a couple of tries. And we become her taste testers until we find a truly authentic Malaysian taste and flavour. Any how, she has a lot more cooking experience due to testing on us.

Tasty Fried Shrimps

The Stir Fried Shrimps with Salted Eggs is not a difficult recipe to learn. With two pounds of fresh peeled shrimps, we would probably need about three salted eggs. We only want to use the egg yolk of the salted eggs. Crush the egg yolk and mix the egg yolk with the shrimps and curry leaves in a large mixing bowl. Prepare the wok with about two spoons of cooking oil and start to fry the shrimps, a few at a time until the whole wok is full of them. The shrimps is left in the wok to cook for about five minutes.
