I'm a fan of anything to do with salted egg. For me, salted egg is another name for yumminess. Be it salted egg prawn,pumpkin,chicken or mussels..u name it and i'll love to have all. Same goes to this mouthwatering dish call salted egg squid. I love the richness and creaminess of this delicious side dish.  You may find salted egg in any Asian supermarket and i have seen this shops selling salted egg powder as well to cut the cooking time short. Serve with white rice and its good to go.
