Singapore’s newest favourite ingredient
One of Chinese cooking’s most famous traditional ingredients is making a spectacular comeback. Over the years, salted egg yolk has been used in iconic dishes such as salted egg crab, salted egg pork ribs and salted egg buns.
In recent years, salted egg’s repertoire has expanded to take its place in even more eateries, restaurants and bakeries. Even McDonald’s jumped on the trend with their salted egg burger in 2016.
Other modern twists using salted egg as a star ingredient include chocolate waffles with salted egg sauce, salted egg cake, liu sha (i.e. salted egg) prata, fries with salted egg yolk, salted egg tofu and even salted egg cake.
