Recipe
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Xian Dan(Salted duck egg)
- Butter
- Garlic
- Sweet potato flour
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Marinate and fry Da Ji Pai with sweet potato flour as usual (fry the crust slightly harder to hold the sauce).
- Make the star 'Jin Sha (Golden Sand) sauce'. Boil salted duck eggs (Xian Dan), extract only the yolks, and mash finely with a fork.
- Heat plenty of butter (or oil) and a little grated garlic in a pan, add mashed yolks. Stirring on low, the yolks emulsify with the fat and bubble up like crab foam into a fine golden foam. Add a little sugar.
- Toss bite-sized freshly fried chicken into the pan, thoroughly coating it with this golden salted egg yolk sauce.

Trivia
[Hardcore] Salted egg yolk stir-fry, called 'Jin Sha (Golden Sand)', is a staple cooking method in Taiwanese taverns (Re Chao). Combined with street stall Da Ji Pai, it's a demonic gourmet pushing calories and umami past their limits.
