Salted Egg and Century Egg with Seasonal Greens

Ingredients

salted egg 1

century egg 1

seasonal greens (spinach or pea shoots) 600g

garlic cloves (slightly smashed) 4

salt 1/2 tsp

chicken powder 1/2 tsp

water (may add vegetable juice, for sauce) 1 1/4 cup

chicken powder (for sauce) 1 tsp

sugar (for sauce) 1 tsp

sesame oil (for sauce) 1/4 tsp

Instructions

Step 1

Separate the salted egg white and yolk. Steam the yolk in a small dish for 5 minutes until cooked, then dice. Mix the salted egg white and set aside. Rinse the century egg and dice. Wash the greens and cut into sections, keeping stems and leaves separate. Lightly smash the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 6 tbsp of oil, sauté the garlic until fragrant, add the greens and stir-fry over high heat. Once softened, add the salt and chicken powder and stir-fry until the vegetables are just cooked. Remove and drain, then arrange on a serving plate. Reserve the vegetable juice.

Step 3

Bring the vegetable juice (topped up with water if needed) to a boil, add the diced salted egg and century egg, and finally stir in the salted egg white. Remove from heat and pour evenly over the vegetables to serve.
