BETTER THAN TAKEOUT: Easy Salted Egg Chicken 咸蛋鸡 SINGAPORE Chinese Recipe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Salted egg chicken is one of the most popular dishes in Singapore. In fact, Singaporeans seem to like anything with salted egg yolk. I'm not sure where was it originated from but I must salute the person who invented this style of cooking. You gotta try this to believe me.
Roland used only yolks from 4 salted eggs but I think if you want the salted egg taste to be more obvious, you can increase to 6 yolks.
Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

Awesome. Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so happy the recipes turned out great for you too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Some tips: 1)Use sweet potato starch for the extra crisp 2)Deep fry half the curry leaves for garnish and extra crisp 3)Add a dash of pan roasted peanut powder for umami 4)Turn off flame before adding chicken to prevent the crust from softening

You are the real deal! I didn't know their was a Korean dish that used butter. I would use that type of batter alone too. I always wondered what the difference between cooking chicken longer in the oil, vs, cooking it twice?
@spicenpans
6 жыл бұрын
+Carol Napolitano thank you so much. The reason why you wanna double fry instead of leaving the chicken longer in the oil is because you want the temperature of the oil to rise up again to optimal point so that the chicken will be crispier.
Tonight I'm gonna cook this dish for dinner 😋😊...thank you sir for this wonderful dish

Hi Noel, yes it's okay. It won't spoil the taste. It'll be nice. We've tried it in some restaurants before. But instead of full cream milk, I recommend you to use evaporated milk because it's thicker and more fragrant than full cream milk. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

Hi Elaine. The curry leaves are fresh. As we need to get a whole bag even if we only need a handful so we usually freeze the rest of the unused leaves. If you can’t get it, it’s okay. Best to have them but if you can’t get them, it’s fine too. Happy cooking!

This is interesting. Curry leaves are used exclusively in Indian cooking. I've never heard of their use anywhere else in any other form of cooking. In fact I don't think you can get them easily outside of India. Or did you use them just for a fusion variation in your dish?

Good morning Yoginc! 🤓🤓 Singapore is made up of immigrants many many years ago. My ancestors came from China and Roland’s grandma was from China too but his grandfather was a Korean. We had quite a number of immigrants from South India so perhaps these curry leaves were introduced to us by them. Many SINGAPORE dishes use curry leaves as one of the key ingredients because the leaves give the dish an extra fragrance 👍🏻👍🏻 I love SINGAPORE! We’re a melting pot of many different cultures. Wonderful.

Hi! What do you do with the salted egg yolk? Just mash it with fork? And if you don't have Chinese cooking wine, any chance of using cooking sake instead or will it taste different? (On thie side note, I've tried your prawn egg tofu with sambal paste it's amazing! You really are a good chef! And thank you for sharing your recipe)

Thank you so much Michelle. We love our Sambal prawn tofu recipe. So yummy. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did. Yes you can use a fork to break the salted egg yolk into small pieces. And yes you can omit the wine if you don’t have. No problem. But if you have the chance to get a bottle of Shaoxing huatiao wine as well as a bottle of Chinese white rice wine, we highly recommend you to get them - that is you enjoy cooking regularly.

For the deep frying, 150c for first, 180c for second after the chicken has cooled for at least 5mins. Use fan for faster turnaround. Sauce from start to finish should be medium to small. Turn off flame before adding chicken to prevent the crust from softening.
At 01:30 difficult to slice through not because of artery or vein, those are the tendons.

+aliss .dove Hihi. When you're blanching chicken, don't wait for the water to boil before you add the chicken. Put the chicken in when the water is still cold. When the water is boiling, let the chicken stay in the boiling water for another 5 mins before taking it out for a rinse. After rinsing the chicken, you are ready to cook it per your desire. If it's a fresh chicken, there shouldn't be much funky smell or taste. Hope this helps.
