Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- pumpkin yam 2 pieces
- salted duck egg yolk (hamdan huang) 3 pieces
- regular egg yolk 2 pieces
- potato starch powder 0.5 cup
- water a little
- vegetable oil as needed
Recipe 🍳
- Place 3 salted duck egg yolks and 2 regular egg yolks in a bowl, then mash and mix thoroughly with a spoon.
- Peel the pumpkin yam and cut it into uniform bite-sized cubes.
- Lightly dampen the cubed yam, then coat evenly with potato starch powder.
- Fry the starch-coated yam in preheated oil until golden brown and fully cooked through, achieving a crisp exterior and soft interior.
- Add a small amount of oil to a clean pan, then pour in the mashed yolk mixture and cook over medium heat.
- When the yolk mixture begins to bubble and melt like foam due to reacting with the oil, add all the fried yam.
- Gently toss and stir to ensure the yolk sauce coats every surface of the yam evenly.
- Mash and mix salted duck egg yolks and regular egg yolks together.
- Cut the yam into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with potato starch.
- Fry the yam in oil until golden and crispy.
- Cook the yolk mixture until it becomes foamy and melted, then quickly toss in the fried yam.
Cooking tips 💡
- The salted duck eggs used in this recipe can be purchased at Asian grocery stores or online Chinese ingredient specialty shops.
- Use pumpkin yam instead of sweet potato—its higher moisture content and stronger natural sweetness create a better balance with the salty notes.
