Egg with Tangy Tamarind dressing

A very simple dish ...sneak peek at the ingredients ... manageable right? The only 'not so good' thing about this dish ...is to deep fry the eggs....make sure the eggs are dry (use kitchen towels/paper), otherwise it'll splatter...and you'll ended up with extra work of cleaning up the mess....

• 8 hard boiled eggs - deep fry until golden (optional: shallow fry)
• Golden fried shallots
• Fresh corriander leaves for garnishing

Tamarind dressing:

• 3 tablespoon of tamarind extract
• 2 tablespoon of fish sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup of sugar

Mix all in a small pan or saucepan, bring to boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Cut eggs in half and drizzle with tamarind dressing. Garnish with fresh coriander and deep fried shallots. Serve with steam rice or have it as entree...
