Prepare the Dory: Begin by cutting the dory fish into bite-sized pieces, then coat each piece first with the beaten egg and then with cornstarch, ensuring they are well-covered.

Combine Egg Yolks: In a bowl, mash the salted egg yolks and mix them with the liquid milk until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the sautéed aromatics in the pan.

Season the Sauce: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and sugar according to your taste preferences. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Combine Fish and Sauce: Once the sauce is slightly cooled, add the fried dory pieces into the pan, gently tossing them to ensure they are evenly coated in the rich sauce.
