Prepare the Eggs: Fry the eggs until they are cooked to your preference (sunny-side up or over-easy). Set aside.

Slice the Aromatics: Thinly slice or chop the shallots, garlic, and both types of chili peppers. Set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and sauté until they are fragrant. Add the chopped garlic and chili peppers, stirring frequently until the mixture becomes aromatic.

Simmer with Water: Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
