Ingredients

• 3 pieces Salted duck egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped scallions
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Steam the salted duck eggs for about 15 minutes to cook thoroughly. Allow them to cool, then separate the yolks from the whites. You will only use the yolks in this recipe.

Step 2

Mash the cooked salted egg yolks using a fork until they are smooth and free of large lumps.

Step 3

In a medium sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter does not brown.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the mashed salted egg yolks, stirring continuously to break them down into smaller bits.

Step 6

Pour in the evaporated milk and water, continuing to stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Season the sauce with freshly ground black pepper and optional chili flakes. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice for a hint of freshness.

Step 10

Garnish the sauce with chopped scallions before serving. Serve hot over your choice of dish such as pasta, seafood, or steamed vegetables.
