Homemade Salted Egg Yolk Powder

Homemade Salted Egg Yolk Powder adapted from guai shushu

Ingredients

10 salted egg yolks
10 grams of milk powder

Method

Crack the salted eggs and drain the salted egg yolks. Lightly wash the salted egg yolk to make sure no white attached to the yolk.

Bake the salted egg yolk at the pre-heated oven of 150 degree Celsius for 10 minutes. Mash the salted egg yolks and continue baking for another 10 minutes until the egg yolks are cooked.
Transfer the bake salted eggs and milk powder to a food processor. Blend until as fine as possible. Bake again in the oven at 90 C with the door open for at least  30 min to 1hour. The main purpose of this step is to air dry the salted egg yolk powder. The final test is as long as the powder does not stick to your hand when you rub with the fingers, the powder is considered as ready.

Then let it cool completely and store in air tight container and put into the fridge.
