Derek Yeo's Recipe:
Ingredients
- 350 grams of live shrimps
- 2 salted egg yolks
- half a bowl of chicken stock
- butter
- curry leaves
- bird eye chilli
- tapioca flour
- egg white
- sugar.
Will post pictures after I'm done and give a taste verdict from this video recipe.
Update 3 June 2014:
Okay, I tried Derek's recipe and the taste of the sauce was pretty similar to what I tasted before at Zhi Char stores. Here's how it looked:
However, my prawns was kinda soggy and not crispy at all. I must be doing it wrong. Too much butter?
In addition, it was also too salty, as I had marinated the prawn with soya sauce earlier, and added some salt in the batter before frying it. My bad! Will cut down the sodium next time when fine-tuning.
I did further research and found another video recipe that included evaporated milk into the last bit to thicken the sauce.
Jackie's M Recipe:
- Tapioca starch (or cornstarch) - to drench prawns (500g) with
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 4 salted egg yolks, steamed & mashed
- 3 Tbsp butter or ghee
- 2 stalks curry leaves
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1 tsp chicken stock granules
Will try a combination of these 2 recipes the next time and share the results.

Update: 25 Oct 2015:
For the 2 recipes above, I am not totally satisfied with the results.
So here's a 3rd recipe that I tried:
http://themeatmen.sg/salted-egg-yolk-prawns/
The texture is really what I wanted to achieve, but it's not tasty enough.
I am thinking of adding Jackie's suggestion "chicken stock granules" and "evaporated milk" at the end for the MeatMen's recipe the next time.
To be updated.
