Cooking Quest: Salted Egg Yolk Chicken

Last year, I attempted to cook this.  You know, without looking at any recipe?  I had a feeling it was fairly easy.  I usually just wing it (yabang!).  But when I did - it was an epic fail.  Hahahaha!!

After that failed attempt, I often wondered how it was made without the salted egg yolk being runny. Then I saw a video somewhere.  I realized that it failed because I used REAL Salted egg yolk and egg white - TOGETHER.  Major major fail.  You DON'T need to use real salted egg.  What you need is just the egg yolk and salt it.

I tried making it the other night and it was a success.



Well, sort of - I mean, my Panget said he wanted it a little more salty.

Didi's Salted Egg Yolk Chicken:
(I apologize but I don't have the exact measurement, as I said - I just wing it.  Hahaha!!)

Chicken Thigh Fillets (cut into bite sizepieces)
Rice Wine
Sugar
Salt
Pepper
1 Egg
Potato Starch (this makes the chicken more crispy when fried)

4 Egg Yolks (Separate and Steam then crush)
*You may need more depending on the amount of chicken you plan to cook
Salt (this will depend on how salty you want it to be)
Butter (I love butter so don't ask me how much!  Hahaha!)


Start with the Salted Egg first:
1)  Crush the steamed egg yolks.  Crush them.
2)  Heat oil in a a pan and cook the crushed egg yolks
3)  Add butter and salt (to taste)
4)  Cook until FOAMY (don't over cook!)
5)  Set aside in the pan

Chicken:
1)  Mix cut up chicken with rice wine, salt, pepper and sugar
2)  Pour in egg and mix thoroughly
3)  Drench Chicken piece by piece into Potato Starch
4)  Fry chicken pieces until golden brown

When all the chicken is cooked - put it on the pan with the egg yolk mixture.
Coat all the chicken with the egg yolk mixture.

That's it.

It's quite tedious because you will need at least 2 pans.  But I assure you, it will all be worth it when you get to taste and serve it.

Feel free to tweak the recipe.  If you have comments or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks!

  2. I saw a video and I thought na raw salted egg (as in itlog na pula) yung ginamit. Was wondering where to get them kasi usually parang hard-boiled na yung nabibili sa atin. Pwede palang ordinary egg and then salt it na lang. Thanks for this recipe, Didi! :)

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
