Instructions

1. 1

   Pat dry prawns, season with salt and white pepper, then lightly coat with cornstarch.

   Using the same oil, deep-fry the coated prawns until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   In a clean wok, melt butter with cooking oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, sliced chili (if using), and curry leaves (if using). Sauté until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add mashed salted egg yolks to the wok. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes foamy and fragrant.

6. 6

   Return the fried prawns and pumpkin to the wok. Toss quickly to ensure they are evenly coated with the salted egg yolk sauce. Serve immediately.
