I do love a good bowl of prawn noodles. Especially when the weather is 7˚C outside. Inside my house though the heating has not even come on as I live in a new build eco-friendly house. After a bowl of my extra spicy Hae Mee noodles, I do not feel any cold at all.

Peeling 5 minutes eggs is not a joke. I have to be gentle and do it slowly. Should have boiled it yesterday and put them in the fridge. TIP – doing this makes them easier to peel.

Having a bowl of spicy prawn noodles that you made from scratch and not from a packet of shop bought paste feels like singing …..I’m walking in the air….. I have been planning this cook for a week. Last week I fried my collection of prawn heads and made into a small pot of sambal ready in the fridge and prawn oil for my chicken rice noodles (Hor Fun) https://www.julieolive.co.uk/2019/03/05/kai-see-hor-fun-%e9%b8%a1%e4%b8%9d%e6%b2%b3%e7%b2%89/

This makes life a lot easier. I have also made some prawn stock and freeze. I defrosted the stock last night as I decided to cook today because I saw some amazingly fresh Kangkong at the Asian supermarket during the weekend. To me a good bowl of prawn noodles must come with its partner, the Kangkong, morning glory vegetables.

Today I am making it with pork ribs. Lately it is very difficult to buy raw pork ribs in the normal supermarket. Most of them have been boiled and marinated, prepared for the masses to oven bake. As I am not a fan of BBQ sauce or sticky sweet sauce myself, I hardly buy, cook or eat those. Nowadays if I want nice raw pork ribs, I find I have to go and get them from Costco. Luckily Costco is nearby and not too far away. The accompanying pics below are the stages and TIPs of my way of cooking this dish in the UK. Enjoy.

p/s Of course, you can make more of the prawn head paste aka otak udang sambal and keep it in the fridge for adding to other dishes like I did with my Asam curry fish dish. The possibilities are endless, and it is not wasted – https://www.julieolive.co.uk/2022/11/24/asam-curry-fish-asam-hue-%e4%ba%9a%e5%8f%81%e5%92%96%e5%93%a9%e9%b1%bc/

Last week I fried my saved-up prawn shells with a bit of garlic and salt. I used a potato masher to press all the ‘brains’ out of the shells. Then I picked out the crispy heads to blend in the blender. I added soaked dried chillies to make a prawn ‘brains’ paste (kekekeke) I have to stop myself from spreading it onto cracker and eat!

Kept the golden oil in a bottle and separate the heads from the body shells. In the pot I used the shells to make prawns stock. No need to wash.

Today it is simply setting up my little blender to blend some chillies (both dry and fresh). Soaked the dried chillies overnight after removing seeds. Also blend the shallots and garlic.

Salted Egg Yolks Butter Pork Ribs – 牛油黃金排骨 with curry leaves & fresh chillies. Salted egg yolks and evaporated milk is very rich, and paired with curry leaves, the smell is so good. This is quite an easy dish to cook.

I wanted to soak a new batch of salted eggs so I went all out and used all of my leftover 8 yolks. This is also because the hubby, funny Mat Salleh that he is, is not very good with chewing ribs but he loves salted eggs yolks so I am making extra bits for him to go with his rice. You don’t have to use as many salted egg yolks. 

This dish also justify the fresh curry leaves my friend gave me to the maximum.

Salted Egg Yolks Butter Pork Ribs – 牛油黃金排骨 with curry leaves and fresh chillies

Ingredients

Pork Ribs

  • 2 kg pork ribs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp rice wine
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • 3 cups oil for frying
  • 2 tbsp cornflour

Ingredients for frying

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 5 to 8 spring curry leaves
  • 2 fresh red chillies finely choppes
  • 3 cloves garlic mince
  • 2 to 3 shallots sliced
  • 3 to 5 salted egg yolks steamed for 15 minutes till cooked
  • 1 cup evaporated milk.

Instructions

  • Marinate the pork ribs with the eggs, rice wine, salt and pepper. Set aside for half an hour at least.
  • Heat the oil for frying and add in the cornflour to your ribs. Give it all a good stir before dropping them into the hot oil and fry them till crispy. Depending on the size of your wok/pan you might need to fry the ribs in a few batches. Fry till golden brown.
  • After frying your ribs, set them aside to drain on kitchen towels. Meanwhile, pour the oil away and wipe your wok clean.
  • Drop the butter onto your wok and your frying ingredients, garlic, shallots, curry leaves and the steamed salted egg yolks. Mash the egg yolks into the butter. Give it a good few minutes of stirring on medium heat and they will become all frothy.
  • When it’s frothy add in the evaporated milk and let it bubble – stirring constantly.
  • lastly add in your red chillies, then your prepared ribs. After this, give it a good stir and serve.

Notes

Please feel free to use as many or less salted eggs yolks. I used 9 that I had left. This is because my husband loves salted egg yolks but he is not very good with ribs. Hence I want to make more yummy bits for him. You can also adjust the spiciness with the additional of more or less chillies. Please don’t save on the curry leaves. They make the dish. The fragrant smell of curry leaves just stir up my taste buds. If you are watching your carbohydrates this is a good snack food. I had them with a whole cucumber for my lunch and felt very satisfied. I admit I have some in the late afternoon too. Watching television and sucking the ribs clean. Burrrpppp
