Soy Sauce Marinated Egg Yolks
The final installation of Demystified: Soy Sauce, raw egg yolks marinated in light soy sauce. This is a delicious topping I like to use for a tartare but you can also use to top things like a bowl of noodles, rice, or salads. The marriage of raw egg yolks and light soy sauce yields a delightful flavor profile and creamy texture when punctured. However, achieving the ideal consistency requires precision; over-marinating risks solidifying the yolk.
Fish Sauce Chicken Wings
In the third edition of Demystified: Fish Sauce, we're delving into its role as a marinade. Here, we're elevating it with a robust version of nuoc cham (the beloved Vietnamese dipping sauce), which doubles as both marinade and glaze. Rest assured, the high cooking temperature will obliterate any chicken-related concerns.
