Egg with tamarind

Eggs with tamarind (in Thai Kai Look Keuy) is a traditional and highly popular Thai buffet specialty that uniquely combines magnificent textures with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.

Crispy texture and rich tamarind sauce

In this classic dish, boiled eggs are lightly deep-fried so that their exterior achieves a delicious, crispy, and golden texture. The halved eggs are coated with a rich, slowly simmered tamarind sauce, which gives the dish its characteristic sweet and sour aroma. The dish is finished with crispy fried shallots, fresh cilantro, and a pinch of chili to provide color and a little kick.
