Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup oil
4 pieces chile peppers
2 cloves garlic
2 pieces shallots
2 medium tomatoes
1 tablespoon shrimp paste
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
to taste pepper
Method
In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully fry the eggs until they reach a beautiful golden brown hue, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, and then set them aside.
Using a food processor, blend together the chile peppers, garlic, shallots, tomatoes, and shrimp paste until smooth. Then, incorporate some peanut oil and blend again until everything is well combined.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the blended chile mixture to the skillet and stir in vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to create the sauce. Gently introduce the fried eggs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the delightful aroma to fill your kitchen.
