Pumpkin with salted egg yolk is a popular dish among the Chinese. I had it a few days ago when I dined in my favorite Chinese restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning home, I realized I could easily make the dish. After a few attempts, I found shallow-frying the pumpkins was better than deep-frying, as the latter required too much oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I would like to share my recipe for making this dish at home in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The ingredients required for pumpkin with salted egg yolk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You only need two primary ingredients in this recipe: pumpkin and salty egg yolks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can use either pumpkins or other winter squash, such as acorn squash and kabocha. I use the local pumpkin, which works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slate egg yolks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another key ingredient is salted duck egg yolks, a widely used savory Asian item. With a unique flavor, it is suitable to cook with any dish or eaten on its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While making salted eggs using duck eggs is possible, I prefer to purchase them from the market for convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most salted duck eggs sold in Asian countries are raw. To use them, boil or steam them for approximately ten minutes until they are cooked. However, in New Zealand, I found that the salted eggs are precooked, vacuum-packed, and sold at the Asian market I visited. In this case, I use them immediately after removing them from the packaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the recipe requires only the salted egg yolks, save the salted egg whites for other dishes, such as steaming them with ground meat or adding them to congee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cook the pumpkin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, remove the pumpkin’s skin and seeds and cut them into slices. There are several ways to cook pumpkin slices, depending on your preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
