Ingredients
1 zucchini (about 10 ounces), cut into thin half-moons
1 ear of corn, kernels removed
4 salted duck egg yolks, cooked and coarsely crumbled
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Trim the zucchini and cut lengthwise into thin half-moons approximately 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
Remove the kernels from the corn cob by running a sharp knife along the cob to release the kernels. Set aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced zucchini and corn kernels to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the zucchini is just tender but still has a slight bite and the corn is heated through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the sea salt over the vegetables and toss gently.
Add the crumbled salted duck egg yolks to the pan. Toss continuously for 2–3 minutes until the yolks coat the vegetables evenly, breaking into smaller pieces as they warm and creating a creamy, golden coating.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
Comments
Salted duck egg yolks are the star and the catch: you won't find them at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, or ALDI, so plan on Kroger's international aisle or a dedicated Asian market in Charlotte. Zucchini and corn are cheap and universally available, making the cost per serving modest once you've sourced the eggs—budget $2 to $3 per serving depending on duck egg price. The 30-minute claim is honest for the stir-fry itself, though crumbling the cooked yolks takes a small extra moment. This is a weeknight vegetable side that feeds four, reheats well the next day, and carries real visual appeal, but the specialty ingredient means it's not a grab-and-go dinner.
