Hi Tatka,
Well, apparently a lot of people are looking for this recipe. I found
several recipes, all slightly different! Since I have not had this dish
(yet...), I cannot say which is the correct one. It will be up to you to
choose one or to try them all. If one of them does turn out to be the right
one, please let me know which one?
Phaed
Japanese Golden Shrimp
Kogane yaki, an egg-yolk glaze:
2 T sake (rice wine)
3 T light soy sauce
1 egg yolk
Butterfly 12 shrimp in their shells. Push
in long bamboo skewer from head to tail and
push in two more short skewers to run
perpendicular to the long skewer -- prevents
shrimp from curling.
Mix ingredients and coat shrimp several
times as you broil.
----------------------------
Golden Shrimp
1)Butterfly the shrimp and place on skewer
2)Grill on a charcoal fire with the shell down. Heat until about four-fifths
cooked. Turn over, and grill the other side for a moment. Remove from heat.
3)Take a mixture of two egg yolks, a half-teaspoon of mirin(sweet sake), and
a pinch of salt, which have been beaten together in a mortar. Baste the
shrimp with this mixture, using a brush.
4) Grill until the yolk covering is dry. Remove from heat and baste once
more. Grill again.
5)Remove from heat when the flesh looks lightly toasted. While still hot,
remove from skewers.

Golden Shrimp
Japan
23 surimi (fish paste)
8 large shrimp
1 oz sake
pinch of salt
6 t. flour
1 egg white
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 T. salt
9 oz Moto (recipe follows)
8 fresh peas, cooked
Moto:
1 egg yolk
1 1/4 C vegetable oil
1/8 t. salt
Peel shrimp. Cut open like butterflies and remove vein. Soak in sake and
pinch of salt solution for 30 minutes. Take shrimp out and wipe off with
paper towel. Mix remaining ingredients (except peas) thoroughly. Coat the
topside of the shrimp with flour then place 2 T. of the mixture on top. Coat
entire shrimp with mixture. Put cooked green peas on top for coloring. Bake
at 350 degrees for 6-7 minutes or broil for 5 minutes until golden brown.
Moto Method
Put egg yolk into a bowl and add salt. Start whipping egg yolk while adding
vegetable oil slowly.
Note: If is becomes too hard, add egg whites to loosen. Finished product
should be like mayonnaise.

Subject: pickled eggs
Dear Pheadrus, I am in need of an old fashioned recipe
for pickled eggs. The bartenders in Utica, NY used to make
their own. The store bought ones are bland and cost a fortune.
I understand that you use hardboiled eggs with vinegar, salt
and spices, and need help with the rest. Can you help.
Thank you, Pat.
Hi Pat,
There are basically two kinds of pickled egg recipes: 1) Just vinegar salt & spices, and 2) With beets or beet juice.
Since you didn't mention beets, I assume you want #1.
Below are several variations on the basic recipe. Good with beer.... The first one is pretty much the basic recipe.
Some of the recipes say to let sit overnight, but I think 3 days is better. The longer they sit in the refrigerator
before eating, the more spicy flavor they absorb.
Best to use hot jars so that they don't crack when you pour in the boiling pickling solution. You can heat the jars
with hot water before putting in the eggs.
