    Ingredients

    • 1/4 lb Fresh filet of sole, plaice
    •     or possibly cod
    • 6 x Egg yolks
    • 2 Tbsp. minced, spring onions (scall
    • 1 prt only
    • 1 tsp Sesame oil
    • 1/4 tsp MSG, [optional, as usual.
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/8 tsp white pepper
    •     Fat for deep-frying
    • 5 Tbsp. Soy sauce
    • 3 Tbsp. Vinegar

    Directions

    1. "When the crab season ended, people were loath to give up the idea of being without crab. The following recipe is an excellent dish, but a poor substitute for the heady concentrate of roe found in the furry- clawed crabs of the Yangtse lakes."Steam the fish for 10 min and flake it gently. Mix the egg yolks together with the spring onions, sesame oil, MSG, salt and white pepper.
    2. Add in the fish and mix it in. Fry Tbsp. of the mix in fairly deep fat, till the sides are almost brown or possibly pinkish gold.
    3. The fat will foam, but this can't be helped. The final texture must be hard. Serve warm with a separate dish of soy sauce mixed with vinegar.
    4. Excellent with warmed wine.
