- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon clarified butter
- vegetable oil for deep-frying

- sea salt
- Egg Sauce
- 2 tablespoons salmon roe
- Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and the soy sauce and mix.
- Add the clarified butter gradually so that it doesn’t separate, mixing as you go.
- 3/4 cup (150 ml).
- Bring about 3 inches (8 cm) of oil in a medium saucepan to 340°F (170°C). Deep-fry the asparagus spears for 1 to 2 minutes, drain and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Cut the spears in half.
