I find this recipe a very unusual way of serving salted eggs. The recipe was published in a table calendar years ago. Have you come across eating hard boiled salted eggs with spicy sauce?
You can actually prepare the chilli sauce earlier, reheat when required and pour on to hard boiled salted eggs before serving. This sauce is good on its own with rice as it is very tasty [spicy, sourish sweet taste].
I didn't make the salted eggs for this recipe. Please refer to these posts [2 ways to make salted eggs] if you wish to prepare your own salted eggs.

you got me thinking about the taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Edith, the sauce is spicy sweet and goes well with the salty egg. Very appetising with plain or coconut milk rice.
ReplyDeleteKimmy, this is the first time I come a cross a sauce for salted egg. I think we usually eat salted egg on it's own. But quite a good idea as this sauce sounds very tasty.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, with the sauce poured over the eggs, you have to eat both.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy, this is indeed very different and have never heard of it before. Will give this a try. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy, do give it a try. Adding spring onions makes the sauce more aromatic.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting dish! I have never tried eating salted eggs with sauce before. The sauce looks very good, must be delicious too with normal hard-boiled eggs.
Thanks for sharing with CYB!
Hi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteLike this extra-kick to eat salted eggs. I think this combination sounds great.

Hi Zoe, some may say aiyoh, too much work but I say the end result is good and very presentable.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, I think it should be alright but have to add a little more sauce for taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy, thanks for linking this to LTU! I would have never thought of serving salted eggs this way, sounds really unique! Must be good with rice or porridge.
ReplyDeleteHi Baby Sumo, you're welcome. Good to serve with rice.
