Egg ribbon

Keep in mind that in addition to eggs, there is a lot of sugar in this recipe. However, the recipe can be lightened by using natural sweeteners instead of sugar.

The secret of food lies in the syrup, which should be made from sugar and a small amount of water. You will also need a strainer or a cooking syringe to make a spaghetti-like ribbon from the eggs.

Ingredients

• 200 g of sugar
• 5 egg yolks
• 250 ml of water
• 1 syringe or strainer
• 125 ml of very cold water
• kitchen paper

This dish is served as an appetizer and is suitable for any season. This is how the egg ribbon is finished step by step.

1. First, separate the yolks from the proteins.
2. Put 250 ml of water and sugar in a saucepan to boil. Stir a little until a very thick mixture forms – it should look like a syrup. Be careful with this step : if the syrup is allowed to boil for too long, it will burn. Let simmer.
3. Put the yolks in a syringe and squeeze the strips into the hot syrup mixture.
4. Do this step on the satire so that the strips do not stick.
5. Wait for the egg strips to harden. Take them out of the pot with a spatula and place in a bowl with very cold water.
6. This makes it easier to cut them and keeps the strips loose.
7. Prepare the remaining egg strips by repeating the same steps.
8. Dry excess water and syrup from the strips on kitchen paper.
9. Place fish, meat or cream cheese on top of the egg ribbon. Egg ribbon can also be served separately.
