• 4 eggs
• 5 shallots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 5 bird’s eye chilies
• 1 stalk of lemongrass, bruised
• Ground black pepper
• Salt
• Sugar
• Dried shrimp (ebi)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Eggs: Start by boiling the eggs until they are fully cooked. Once done, peel them and set aside. Heat oil in a pan and fry the peeled eggs until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sambal: Finely grind the shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chilies together to create a smooth paste. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté the paste until it becomes aromatic and the raw smell dissipates.

3. Cook with Aromatics: Add the bruised lemongrass and dried shrimp to the pan. Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance the flavors. Stir well to combine.

4. Combine and Simmer: Gently add the fried eggs to the pan, ensuring they are well-coated with the sambal mixture. If needed, add a small amount of water to help the flavors infuse into the eggs. Stir gently to mix everything together.

5. Serve: Once the sambal has fully absorbed into the eggs and everything is well combined, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful dish.
