SON IN LAW EGGS
Son In Law Eggs (Vegetarian)
Serve: 2
Prep: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
5 Hard boiled eggs – shelled
2 clove Garlic – finely chopped
3 Banana shallots – peeled and thinly sliced
1 Red chilli – pierced dry toasted and finely chopped
1 teaspoon Yeast extract
1 tablespoon Soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon Tamarind concentrate
1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
2 tablespoon Demerara sugar
100ml Water
1 pinch Salt and black pepper
1 cup Vegetable oil
Method
-Deep fry the banana shallots in a small frying pan over a medium to high heat until it’s crispy and golden brown in colour. Remove the shallots and put it on a kitchen towel to drain the excess oil.
-In the same pan, place the hard boiled eggs and gently fry until the skin turns golden and the outer layer becomes slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
-In a small sauce pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil to a medium heat. Put in the garlic and chilli, gently fry until the garlic turn golden.
-Add the soft brown sugar, demara sugar, water, light soy sauce, yeast extract, salt, black pepper and Tamarind concentrate. Reduce until the sauce thickens.
-Drizzle the sauce on top of the crispy skin egg. Scatter the fried shallots on top. Serve with fluffy Thai Jasmine rice.
Tip:
-I love a slightly jammy egg yolk. Check out this link to see How to cook soft boil egg. However, be gentle when you fry the eggs they are rather fragile.
