Salted Egg Yolk Powder

You can try this at home too.

• 20 salted egg yolks
• 20 grams of milk powder

Servings: About 300 grams of salted egg yolk powder

• Crack the salted eggs and drain the salted egg yolks. Ensure that there is no salted egg white attached to the yolk

• Bake the salted egg yolk at the pre-heated oven of 150 degree Celsius for 10 minutes. Mash the salted egg yolks and continue baking for another 5 minutes until the egg yolks are cooked.

• Transfer the bake salted eggs to a food processor.Add the milk powder.  Blend until as fine as possible. Bake again in the oven at 50 degree Celsius with the door open for at least 1/2 hour. The main purpose of this step is to air dry the salted egg yolk powder. The final test is as long as the powder does not stick to your hand when you rub with the fingers, the powder is considered as ready.

• Sift and when cooled completely, store in an air tight container and place in the fridge. If you prefer it drier, for the first few days, you can put it in the fridge without the lid of container close. Let the fridge draw out the moisture from the powder.

Reminders:

• If you do not have an oven, you can steam the salted egg yolk for 5 minutes, mash and dry fry over the stove. But use low heat as high heat will cause the oil to secrete. Patience is needed.

 

• If you do not have the food processor, use hand to rub open the salted egg yolk a few times. Final sifting will make it powdery form.
