Fried Chicken with Salted Egg Sauce

We never had pot luck for a long time among A33 gals. Usually I was the only one lazy to cook and buy a roasted duck to the party, but this time, I was the only one who really cook a dish.

Everyone seems busy after since we come out to work. After years, some got promoted or carried high position and this has made us become even busier.

This time I insisted to cook because lately I like cooking (not so crazy about photography now, or I should say I have changed this craziness to a way to record my life using photo dairy).

The dish that I presented is Fried Chicken with Salted Egg Sauce... Not very difficult to cook, but the taste is really nice...

Ingredients:
2 chicken whole legs, cut into pieces
1 cup of oil for deep-frying

Marinade:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Dash of pepper
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp corn flour
1 tbsp plain flour

Sauce:
2 salted egg yolks, steamed and mashed
1 tbsp curry leaf
1 tsp chopped chili padi
200ml evaporated milk

Seasoning:
1 tsp sugar
Dash of pepper

Method:
1. Mix chicken with marinade and marinate for 1 hour.
2. Heat up oil for deep-frying, deep-fry chicken until golden brown and cooked. Dish and drain.
3. Leave 1 tbsp oil in wok, stir-fry mashed salted egg yolks, curry leaves and chili padi until fragrant. Add in evaporated milk, seasoning and bring to boil.
4. Add in fried chicken and stir-fry until well mixed and the sauce has thickened.

p/s: Instead of chicken, you can use prawns to substitute.
