directions

1. To make the sauce - caraelise the palm sugar, ginger and water in a pan and when it begins to carmelise add the chilli and when the sauce is a deep golden colour, add the fish sauce and remove from the heat - this will stop the caramelisation and then add the lime juice to provide the sour balance.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl without breaking the yolks.
3. Deep ry in vegetable oil until the whites are crispy but the yolks are still soft.
4. Do not be put off by the look at this stage.
5. Drain the eggs on absorbent paper and then place on a serving plate and cover with sauce and sprinkle with peanuts, fried shallot, garlic and chilli and then finish with the spring onion and the herbs and serve at once.

Yummm. I love these eggs Pat, they have so much flavor and great textures. It truly is amazing that all these flavors combine to create such a memorable treat. This breakfast was easy to prepare with excellent results. Served over cabiatta bread to soak up all the wonderful sauce. Thanks for sharing this keeper Pat. made for Went to Market Tag Game - 2017.
