About Salted egg fried squid

Salted Egg Fried Squid is a savory dish originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, often enjoyed in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. It features tender squid pieces coated in a batter, deep-fried until crisp, and tossed in a rich, velvety sauce made from salted egg yolks, butter, curry leaves, and chili. The dish is celebrated for its creamy, umami flavor with a subtle spicy kick. While squid is a lean protein and provides beneficial nutrients such as selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus, the preparation method and salted egg content add considerable calories, fat, and sodium. Deep frying also increases its fat content, making it a less health-conscious choice when eaten frequently or in large portions. Moderation is key to enjoying Salted Egg Fried Squid while balancing its indulgent flavors with its nutritional impact.
