Salted egg yolk dishes has become common in zhu chao （煮炒）stalls since the early 2000s. Not sure who invented this, but it is great.
There are so many versions of this sauce, we can hardly tell which is the original one. I like my version the best, simply because it is easy to prepare and tastes wonderful. I’m sure there are better versions out there, but as always, for me, simplicity is always key.
This same form of cooking can be used for chicken pieces, prawans, pumpkin, yam, crab and even squid. It is simply delicious.
