Salted duck eggs and shrimp creamy lohn (หลนไข่เค็ม ; lohn khai khem)

จัดทำโดย หนุมาน

Lohn of salted duck eggs is a smooth, rich and creamy relish with a vibrant three-flavor profile of sour-salty-sweet. Unlike other lohn relishes, it does not contain any overbearing fermented ingredients, making it easy to enjoy, and it does not require an acquired taste.

The relish is seasoned following the 1:1:1 ratio of tamarind paste, fish sauce and palm sugar. However, since the duck egg’s saltiness contributes to about half of the salty character of the dish, we reduce the amount of fish sauce by half. In practice, we use double the amount of tamarind paste and palm sugar than that of the fish sauce needed to achieve the ideal salty seasoning point.

The dish is prepared according to traditional lohn protocols, with the addition of a lavish amount of coriander leaves and some bruised fresh bird’s eye chilies at the end of the cooking process.

  • 1/2 cup shallots (หอมแดง) thinly sliced

Season to a bold sour-salty-sweet profile

  • 1 part fish sauce (น้ำปลา)
  • 2 part tamarind paste (น้ำมะขามเปียก)
  • 2 part palm sugar (น้ำตาลมะพร้าว)
  • sea salt (เกลือทะเล)
  • 1/2 cup three colors of chilies – red, green, yellow and chilies (พริกสามสี) sliced thinly, crosswise

Instructions
 

  • Peel and de-vein the shrimp and cut them into small pieces. Wash and pat dry the sliced shrimp meat.
  • Squeeze the shrimp tomalley from the heads; add it to the shrimp.
  • On a cutting board, use a knife to mince the shrimp together with the tomalley. Set aside.
  • Split the hard-boiled salted duck eggs in half with a knife, then separate the yolks from the egg whites with a spoon. Cut the egg whites into small pieces and set aside.
  • Thicken coconut cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat, reserving a small amount for the garnish. Do not allow the cream to separate into fat.
  • Add the egg yolks and egg whites and continue to cook until the yolks have dissolved into a yellowish creamy consistency. Stir constantly and be careful not to let the coconut cream separate into fat!
  • Add the minced shrimp and the shallots and keep simmering until the shrimp meat is fully cooked.
  • When the shrimp are cooked, taste and season to a sour-salty-sweet profile. Start by adding fish sauce; when you are satisfied with the saltiness, add double the amount of fish sauce in palm sugar and tamarind paste. Taste and adjust the flavors.
  • Turn off the heat and mix in the coriander leaves and bruised bird’s eye chilies.
  • Pour into a serving bowl, and garnish with thinly sliced three colored chilies – red, green and yellow – along with sliced shallots and a drizzle of the thickened coconut cream.

Serve with:

  • Fresh vegetables, grilled catfish or fried snakehead fish.
