Ingredients
- 6 large salted duck egg yolk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- If you are using a whole salted duck egg, peel the egg and separate the egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Mash it using a fork. You can also use a food processor to pulse them until they have a very fine, powder-like consistency.
- In a skillet, add the butter and minced garlic together. Cook the garlic in low to medium heat or until aromatic but be careful because it tends to burn faster when using a butter.
- Add the prepared salted egg into the skillet with a spoonful of sugar. Stir to combine and let the sauce cook until warm thoroughly. Now it is ready to make more dishes using your salted egg yolk sauce made from scratch.
