Thanks for the reply.
By streaky, I was referring to the sinew like difficult to chew streaks you also get in celery. But I think a slightly longer cooking time has resolved the issue.
This recipe has become a new favorite in our house.

In reply to Tetsuro Shinoda. Hi! I am not sure what you mean by "streaky" but if you mean they were too chewy, you can just cook them longer in the wok. Add more water if needed and cover. You'll lose the crunch slightly, but if you don't overdo it it should still be good.

Love the recipe!
However the long beans I got were a bit streaky. What is the remedy to this without losing the crunch? Parboiling or par frying? any suggestions

In reply to Hendrik. You can certainly try it with any other kinds of crispy vegetables. There is no substitute for salted egg, but you can simply omit them.

Wouldn't this go well with any kind of green, crispy veg? Like broad strips of green cabbage?

What to substitute for the salted egg, please?

This was delicious! I added shallots with the garlic. I didn’t have the salted duck egg but it was still tasty.

Love this simple sauce!
Instead of egg I used sliced andouille sausage, browned and set aside before adding garlic to pan, then tossed back in at the end. Excellent dish!!

Love this, even though I can almost never source long beans or duck eggs. Works just as well with green beans and a fried egg. Frankly, I prefer it with the runny yolk of a fried egg than the sliced yolk of a boiled egg. But to each their own. Regardless, this is a magnificent dish that doesn't take 40 mins peeling and chopping!
