Hong Kong Style Potato Salad 港式薯仔沙律

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 Hami melon

  (the one in the photo was 1778 g)
• 200 g Shrimp

  or prawns, shelled and deveined
• 1 Apple

  , approx. 300 g
• 600 g Potatoes
• 1 c Mayonnaise

  (I used Japanese mayonnaise, Kewpie brand)
• 12 Quail eggs
• 1 ½ tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Tobiko

  (flying fish roe), for garnish

Instructions

• 1 Boil or steam potatoes until cooked. Set aside and let cool
• 2 Boil or steam shrimp until cooked. Set aside and let cool
• 3 Boil some water in a pot. Add eggs when water starts to boil. Roll them gently
  in the water. Quail eggs will be done in approx. 3 minutes. Chicken eggs will
  take approx. 7-8 minutes. Timing is based on cold eggs from the fridge. If you
  want to be able to peel your eggs nicely without the whites sticking to the
  shell, then put them in boiling water to cook. Roll them around so that the egg
  yolk will settle in the middle of the egg instead of on one side
• 4 When the eggs are done, remove them from the pot and rinse in cold water. Set
  aside and let cool
• 5 Wash the outside of Hami melon and dry with a towel
• 6 For making hami melon bowl (optional): make a horizontal cut that will leave you
  with one large portion that will be the bowl and one small portion that will be
  the lid.
• 7 For making hami melon bowl (optional) slice a little piece off the bottom so
  that it can sit steadily.
• 8 Use a melon baller to make melon balls. Place into a large mixing bowl. Set some
  aside for decorating, if desired
• 9 For making hami melon bowl (optional): scrape the inside of the hami melon
  clean. Set aside
• 10 Peel potatoes and dice. Put into mixing bowl
• 11 Peel quail eggs. Using a thin teaspoon may help. Add to mixing bowl. Set some
  aside for decorating, if desired
• 12 Dice apple and place in mixing bowl
• 13 Add shrimp to mixing bowl. Set some aside for decorating, if desired
• 14 Measure 1 cup of mayonnaise in a container. Add 1 ½ tsp of sugar and mix well.
  This salad is a tad on the sweet side but it’s not necessary to add sugar. The
  regular granulated sugar should dissolve in the mayonnaise within half an hour
• 15 Add the mayonnaise to the contents in the mixing bowl and mix with a rubber
  spatula to minimize breakage
• 16 Spoon into the prepared hami melon bowl (optional). Not all of my salad fit into
  the bowl which is great because I saved it for lunch the next day
• 17 Decorate the top
• 18 Sprinkle some tobiko on top
• 19 Serve
