spicy mala century egg

Anything ma la (麻辣, which means spicy and numbing) has to have originated from Sichuan cuisine. The first time I tried this spicy mala century egg side dish was in noodle chain in Hong Kong called TamJai SamGor. The spicy, numbing and tangy sauce pairs super well with the thick buttery-ness of the century egg.

ingredients for spicy mala century egg:

• 2 century eggs 
• 1 scallion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 3 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp chilli oil
• 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorn oil 
• ½ tsp sugar

steps:

1. Cut each century egg into 6 wedges and place onto a plate.
2. In a small bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients and drizzle over eggs. 

tips:

• Soak your knife in hot water before slicing the century eggs. This makes it a lot smoother to cut through the egg without the yolk sticking onto the knife and breaking up the egg pieces.
