Sambal Tumis Telur, Eggs In Spicy Sauce


As promised I am presenting you with the first dish using the delicious sambal tumis from my previous post. This is the Malay version of son in law eggs  for me, it is equally delicious and the best thing is it costs almost next to nothing to make. You may leave out the frying stage but the sauce actually does cling on to the wrinkly surface of the fried eggs a lot better! 














Allow 2 eggs per person as part of a Malaysian meal
I used;
6 free range eggs, hard boiled
1 onion, sliced
4 heaps tbs of sambal tumis, click HERE for recipe
Chilies as garnish


Peel the eggs.

Fry the eggs til golden and wrinkly, this adds a wonderful mouthfeel to the dish.

Fry the onion with the sambal for a few minutes til soften then add in the eggs and warm through.
Garnish with a few chilies and a very easy but delicious dish is ready!
