Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs:
Begin your culinary adventure by hard boiling the eggs. Once boiled, allow them to cool, then peel and set aside. -
-
Coat the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of corn flour, ginger paste, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Gently coat the hard-boiled eggs with this mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered. Set the coated eggs aside for a moment to let the flavors infuse. -
Fry the Eggs:
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat, adding 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated eggs into the wok. Fry them until they achieve a delightful golden crust, ensuring that each egg is evenly cooked. Once done, remove the eggs from the wok and place them on a plate to cool. -
Make the Gravy:
In another bowl, whisk together 3 teaspoons of water and 3 teaspoons of corn flour until smooth. This will serve as a thickening agent for your gravy. -
Sauté Aromatics:
With the wok still on medium heat, add a splash more sesame oil if necessary, then toss in the chopped ginger, garlic, slit green chillies, and chopped onions. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, allowing the aromas to permeate the air. -
Create the Sauce:
Add the corn flour mixture to the wok, stirring continuously. Gradually bring the mixture to a boil, letting it simmer until it thickens to a semi-thick consistency—this should take about 3-5 minutes. -
Combine Ingredients:
Once the gravy has thickened, gently add the fried eggs back into the wok. Follow this by pouring in the dark soy sauce, diced green bell pepper (capsicum), and chopped spring onions. Stir everything together and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. -
Serve:
For a truly satisfying meal, serve your Chilli Egg in Soya Sauce alongside Vegetarian Hakka Noodles or Thai Style Beansprouts & Raw Mango Salad. This pairing enhances the overall dining experience, making it a delightful dinner option that is sure to please everyone at the table.
