Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 4 egg whites
  • 100ml fresh cream
  • 150g steamed crab meat
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onion
  • 1/2 pack enoki mushrooms
  • 1 cup water or stock
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of sugar
  • a pinch of monosodium glutamate
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch slurry
  • generous amount of cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix egg whites and fresh cream in a ratio close to 1:1 until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into warm oil at around 130 degrees Celsius, allowing it to puff up like clouds. Stir gently, then strain through a sieve to remove all oil completely.
  3. Lightly coat a pan with oil and sauté minced garlic and green onion to release their aroma.
  4. Add steamed crab meat and torn enoki mushrooms, and lightly stir-fry.
  5. Pour in water or stock, then season with salt, sugar, and monosodium glutamate for a clean balance, and bring to a boil.
  6. Gradually add cornstarch slurry while stirring, adjusting the sauce to a slightly more moist consistency than a typical thickened sauce.
  7. Fold the strained egg white clouds into the sauce over high heat, quickly and gently mixing to avoid breaking them up—this completes the dish.
  1. Mix egg whites and fresh cream, then fry in oil at about 130 degrees until fluffy and white; strain to remove oil.
  2. Sauté minced garlic and green onion in a pan to build flavor, then add crab meat and enoki mushrooms and stir-fry briefly.
  3. Add water or stock and season with salt, sugar, and monosodium glutamate; bring to a boil.
  4. Create a smooth, slightly moist sauce by gradually incorporating cornstarch slurry.
  5. Fold the fried egg whites into the sauce and mix gently to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When cooking egg whites in oil, avoid overheating—temperatures too high will cause browning or hardening. Always cook at around 130 degrees Celsius to achieve a soft, cloud-like texture.
  • Adding fresh cream to egg whites enhances richness and creates a much smoother, silkier flavor.
