Salted Egg - Review of Asyura Salted Egg Paste

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. Once again, another review to write! Alhamdulillah..

When I heard about Asyura coming up with Salted Egg Paste, I quickly texted a friend who is a butcher and had pastes from Asyura at her stall if she is taking orders. And when she said yes, I was elated. Even so, I was too late to reserve one during the first batch of orders, people snapped it away from the stall too quickly.

So when she told me she is taking orders again, I quickly reserved 2 packets, and scheduled to collect it the following Saturday, along with my chicken and mutton!

The first time I tried, it was too dry - I didnt follow instructions well. So I tempted a second time and it was marvellous!!

What is important is it is EASY!

What you need:-

The Paste:

It cost $5 at my friend's shop!

I got the paste from a friends shop located at Gombak Market #01-236 for just $5!

The Main Ingredient:

You can use chicken, prawns, squids and pretty much anything you feel like, even crabs! 

I used this chicken popcorn:

You can get this from NTUC or Sheng Siong

2 packets of these to 1 packet of paste. :)

Curry Leaves:

I bought it from a Minimart

Cili Padi:

Easy to get these la!

And butter and water, and that's it!

How to cook:

First, fry your main ingredient or half cook it. Any way you want. I prefer to use a bit of flour to fry the main ingredient with to give it more crunch. Or for me, since I use the popcorn, I just fry it as is. After you fry them all, drain the oil and put it aside.

Take about 200g of butter (or by eye/feel), and put in the hot frying pan.
Simmer it along with curry leaves and cili padi.
When it withers a little, put in the paste, and add in water. (Amount of water : paste should be 1:1).

For a whole packet of paste i probably use 2-3 cups. Again go by the eye, if it looks too dry, add more water. Let it simmer and thicken (abt 5minutes).

Then put in your main ingredient and stir it well, and off the stove.

You are done!

The results:

Yummylicious!

So yummy, it is all wallopped within minutes! 

Oh it is fast, and best served hot!

Give it a try, you wont regret it! 

Your instant cooker,

Jun
