Notes

Choose a good salted egg. It should have a deep orange egg yolk, taste grainy and has a generous ooze of oil around the yolk.
If the mashed egg yolk has crumbles in it, add a little bit of water and mix well. This will prevent crumbles from forming.
Bird’s eye chillies can be omitted if a less spicy dish is preferred but a hint of heat can balance out the richness of the salted egg sauce.
Can check doneness of deep fried chicken by piercing into the meat. If done, chopstick will go through the meat.
This recipe can also be substituted with prawns as well.
