Here is my entry for Masbar event May edition. It is a simple meal, but so homey. My Mom used to make it for us and now is my turn to serve it for my family. You know, I can have it more and more, emptying a full bucket of steamed rice..:)Without further babbling, here is the recipe..
Ingredients:
8 hardboiled egg
8 cloves of garlic, chopped
4 cloves of shallot, chopped
2-3 Tbsp of soybean paste (taoco)
6 green thai chili (add more as preferred), chopped
3 lime leaves
1 Tbsp sweet soy sauce (Indonesian-kecap manis)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil for sauteeing
water as needed
salt and sugar
