Son in Law Eggs

 

 

10 eggs

10-12 whole dried chiles (fried in oil)

cilantro leaves

3 tablespoons sliced shallots or purple onions

1/3 cup palm sugar

3 tablespoon Worcester sauce (was fish sauce)

2 tablespoons Tamarind concentrate mixed with 1/3 cup water

1/4 cup vegetable oil for cooking

 

 

 

 

Hard-boil the eggs and let sit in cold water, then peel and set

aside. Put vegetable oil in wok and add the eggs and fry until the

eggs turn golden brown around the outer surface. Remove the eggs from

oil. In the same oil, saute shallots until brown and then set aside.

Then put palm sugar in the same oil together with the tamarind

mixture and Worcester sauce. Let it simmer and stir constantly until

it thickens. Taste should be sour, salty and sweet. Turn off the

burner.

 

Cut the eggs in half and place face-up on on a dish. Spread shallots

over the eggs. Pour liquid mixture over the eggs and garnish with

cilantro and serve the chiles in a separate dish.

 

 

 

(You might suddenly understand the name of the dish when you have

prepared it... don't know what the son in law thinks about all that)
