Sweet Soy Sauce Glazed Eggs

Sweet Soy Sauce Egg Delicacy (Krengseng Telur Manis Saos Tiramis)

Ingredients:

• For the Main Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs

• For the Spice Paste:

  • 3 shallots
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 large red chili pepper

• Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 block palm sugar (gula batok)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Royco seasoning to taste
  • Sweet soy sauce to taste
  • Oyster sauce to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Water as needed

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:

   • Set aside 1 egg. In a pot of boiling water, cook the remaining 2 eggs for 15 minutes. (Note: For optimal results, cook for a full 15 minutes. If you prefer a slightly softer center, 11 minutes will suffice, but the eggs will not be fully cooked.)
   • After boiling, transfer the eggs to an ice bath or a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs.

2. Fry the Eggs:

   • Crack the reserved egg into a bowl. Add the peeled eggs and coat them evenly with the beaten egg mixture. Heat oil in a frying pan, and fry the coated eggs until golden and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In the same bowl where you coated the eggs, add salt and Royco seasoning. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy. Fry this mixture in the pan until cooked, then cut into pieces using a spatula. Drain any excess oil.

4. Make the Spice Paste:

   • Blend the shallots, garlic, tomato, and red chili pepper into a smooth paste.

5. Cook the Spice Paste:

   • Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the spice paste until fragrant. Add the bay leaf and stir.

6. Combine Ingredients:

   • Pour water into the pan with the spice paste. Add all the fried eggs and mix well. Lower the heat and add the palm sugar, salt, Royco seasoning, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly.

7. Simmer:

   • Increase the heat slightly and allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid reduces and the flavors meld together, ensuring the sauce is well absorbed by the eggs.

8. Serve:

   • Once the sauce has thickened and the eggs are well coated, remove from heat. Serve this delightful dish as a breakfast treat or a savory side.
