Spicy Chile Eggs
Ingredients
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, shells removed
  • 6 red chile peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 medium shallots
  • 2 tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 teaspoon shrimp paste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a compact cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Sear the eggs in the scorching oil until they acquire a rich golden hue, approximately 5 to 7 minutes; remove from the heat source.
2
Mash together the chile peppers, garlic, shallots, tomatoes, and shrimp paste in a culinary device; blend into a uniform consistency. Introduce peanut oil into the mixture and process once more until silky smooth.
3
Heat a small amount of oil in a spacious cooking vessel over a moderate heat setting. Pour the chile pepper mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine. Blend in the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper into the mixture, ensuring a harmonious balance. Add the fried eggs to the skillet, gently tossing them in the sauce until well-coated. Gradually decrease the heat to a low simmer; allow the mixture to infuse with flavor for about 5 minutes.
