Salted Egg Yolk Pumpkin Recipe

Recipe by

Singaporean loves salted egg yolk with everything. Salted egg yolk sauce is very versatile and can be matched with any proteins or carbo. Salted egg yolk sauce is made from duck egg yolks only and you have to discard the whites away. I usually keep it for steaming with minced pork or mix it in with eggs to make a steamed egg dish. Some people like their porridge with cooked salted egg too. The combination of salted egg yolk sauce with pumpkin is heaven as the saltiness of the sauce compliment the sweetness of the pumpkin. If you doesn't like pumpkin, you can simply replace it with tofu, chicken, seafood such as prawns and squids. It is so easy to cook and only takes you 10 minutes to serve out this dish! If you doesn't have an air fryer at home to air fry the pumpkin, you can bake them in the oven too. This is a healthier version as deep frying of the pumpkin is replaced with air frying or oven bake. If you prefer the traditional method of deep frying the pumpkin, you can do so too. Here is my version of Salted Egg Yolk Pumpkin! Enjoy!
