Sweet Soy Glazed Fried Eggs with Spicy Chili Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 5 large eggs (fried sunny side up)
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 stalk of green onion, sliced
• 6 shallots, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 10 red bird’s eye chilies, sliced
• 3 red curly chilies, sliced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Royco seasoning mix (or any all-purpose seasoning)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Water, as needed
• Oil, for sautéing
• 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggs:
   Begin by frying the eggs sunny side up, ensuring each egg is cooked to your liking. Once cooked, set them aside on a plate.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, shallots, red curly chilies, and red bird’s eye chilies. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, releasing their delightful aroma.

3. Create the Sauce:
   To the pan, add the sliced tomato and pour in enough water to create a slightly saucy consistency. Stir in the salt, ground black pepper, and Royco seasoning mix. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, letting the flavors meld together.

4. Add the Sweet Soy Sauce and Green Onions:
   Stir in the sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and the sliced green onions. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and continue cooking until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

5. Combine with Fried Eggs:
   Gently place the fried eggs into the pan with the sauce. Simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the eggs to soak up the flavorful sauce.

6. Finish and Serve:
   Once the eggs have absorbed the sauce and the flavors are well combined, turn off the heat. Transfer the eggs to a serving dish and enjoy them warm.
