Khai Luk Koei (Son-In-Law Eggs) image

Once upon a time in Thailand, a Son-in-Law wanted to impress his mother-in-law, so he created these eggs. These Deep-Fried, Hard-boiled eggs sauced with an almost saffron-colored combination are absolutely unique, Wonderful to taste, and perfectly beautiful on a plate. Be careful when frying them. Use a splatter screen to avoid the hot oil that sputters up when the eggs are added, and a metal spatula and wooden chopsticks to turn them in the oil-they have a tendency to stick. This recipe is from the book The Best of Thailand.

This dish was easy to make and turned out delicious! The eggs were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sauce was also perfect - sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs turned out rubbery. The sauce was also a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
