Whether in solid or liquid form, this one simple (but incredibly tasty) ingredient can be surprisingly versatile. The only requirements for success? Salted egg and a splash of creativity.
Here are some attractive and tasty pairings for you to experiment with.
Octopus
Go for an egg yolk confit, or an overnight cure in a wet brine, and smoke the yolk to make a rich creamy sauce for octopus.
Pasta
Grated salted egg gives pasta a rich umami kick that explodes with flavour.
Mushrooms
Teaming mushrooms with a runny salted egg brings out the flavour of the mushroom. Combine the two on toast, pizza or in a soup.
Hollandaise and Asparagus
Whisk a salted egg through Hollandaise, or grate salted egg over the asparagus and sauce for an extra flavour boost.
Steak Tartare
While the yolk normally functions as a liquid, saucy addition, it can also be a condiment - giving extra flavour to the tartare.
Caramel
The salted egg adds a hearty note to the caramel, making it more interesting and flavourful.
