All In One Belanda Sauce Eggs

A easy dish to cook up whenever you wish to add an extra dish on the dinner table.  Simple and easily available ingredients in any kitchen.
This is similar to the Nyonya Belanda Hu [Fish] which I cooked earlier.  My brother in-law says that eggs can be cooked this way  instead of fish.
Since I’m using a flat base non stick wok, I fried the eggs all at the same time then braised  them with the sauce.  Very easy way to cook and less oily.
The photos don't look good but the dish tasted good.  Reason is all because I cooked this in a jiffy....

Ingredients
[serves 3]
3 eggs
6 shallots – thinly sliced
3 garlic – thinly sliced
1 [3 cm] piece cinnamon stick
A pinch of tamarind past mixed with 150 ml water
Some shredded red chilli and spring onions
1 tbsp sugar
½ -1 tsp salt to taste
1 tbsp oil
  1. Heat oil in a non-stick wok.  Saute shallots and garlic until crispy.  Dish up.
  2. Use the oil to fry the eggs together until firm up.  Pour in the tamarind juice and add the seasoning and cinnamon stick.
  3. Bring to boil and simmer until sauce is fragrant.  Taste to adjust seasoning.
  4. Add in the chilli and spring onions.
  5. Dish up to serve with rice.

Hi Kimmy! When I saw your post title, I thought I remembered one "Belanda"dish you cooked hee..hee.. and yah it turned out to be the fish. Oh, so can also cook eggs with the sauce too. Eggs are always the best emergency dish to add when you don't have enough food!

Hi Phong Hong, you are right. This dish has the versatile eggs and appetising gravy to go with rice. I cooked the Belanda Fish at my MIL's place during CNY which is much easier and when the fish aren't that fresh.
