2. Make the Spice Paste: Using a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend together the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, turmeric, and ginger into a smooth paste.

3. Cook the Spices: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant.

4. Add Aromatics: Incorporate the smashed lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves into the pan with the sautéed spice paste.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the partially cooked chicken, tofu, and boiled eggs into the pan. Stir well to combine with the spices.

6. Simmer: Pour in 1 cup of the chicken broth used for boiling. Season with salt and sugar. Allow the mixture to simmer, letting the flavors meld together and the liquid reduce slightly.
