02Steps
  1. Marinate the chicken mid-joints with salt, white pepper, and Shaoxing wine. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge the marinated chicken mid-joints until fully coated.
  3. Steam the salted duck egg yolks for 10 minutes until cooked through. Mash them with a fork.
  4. Heat cooking oil in a wok to 170-180°C (340-350°F). Deep-fry the coated chicken mid-joints until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil.
  5. In a clean pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, curry leaves, and sliced red chili. Sauté until fragrant.
  6. Add the mashed salted duck egg yolks to the pan. Stir-fry constantly until the yolks become frothy and a sauce forms.
  7. Add the fried chicken mid-joints and sugar to the sauce. Toss quickly to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
