  • 4 grams ground black pepper
  • 10 ml. soy sauce
  • 10 grams brown sugar

  2. Set in wok unto stove. Pour in about 1 cup of used oil. Heat.
  3. Lightly brown garlic, add in onion and “labuyo” tumble a bit then pour in the mashed yolks of salted and hard boiled eggs. Toss consistently for 5 minutes.
  4. Add salt, pepper, soy sauce and brown sugar. Give more active tossing and tumbling for another 3 minutes.

Suggest, don’t individually turn the shrimps when tossing or tumbling but, instead, scoop the egg yolk emulsion with shrimp by the top and turn upside down. This way, emulsion serves as protection and coat-buffer for shrimps. Add in few drizzles used oil if need be.
