How to Make Fried Eggs with Chiles, Tamarind Sauce, and Crispy Shallots

1. Caramelize Shallots

Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced shallots, cooking for 7 to 12 minutes until caramelized. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and season with fine sea salt.

2. Prepare Tamarind Sauce

In a saucepan, combine half of the fried shallots with tamarind paste, fish sauce, light brown sugar, and water. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Fry Eggs

In the same skillet with remaining oil from shallots, fry eggs to desired doneness. Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Serve

Plate the fried eggs, drizzle with tamarind sauce, and top with remaining crispy shallots, minced red chile, and cilantro sprigs. Serve with rice.
