🛒 Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red bird's eye chilies, sliced
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 6 rice crackers (prawn crackers), unfried (60g)
  • 2 tsp olive oil spray
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp roasted peanuts, crushed
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Crackers: Preheat air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Lightly spray unfried rice crackers with olive oil on both sides, dust with turmeric. Air-fry for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking basket halfway. Set aside on paper towels.
2. Caramelize Aromatics: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add sliced shallots and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized, stirring often. Add minced garlic and sliced chilies; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Build the Egg Base: In a bowl, whisk together 4 whole eggs + 4 egg whites with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of turmeric. Pour into the pan with shallot mixture.

4. Scramble Gently: Stir eggs continuously with a spatula over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, keeping curds soft and creamy. Do not overcook; texture should be custard-like.
5. Add Sweet-Savory Glaze: Drizzle honey and unsweetened coconut milk into the scrambled eggs. Stir gently for 1 minute until combined and glossy. Taste and adjust salt/chili heat.
6. Assemble on Crackers: Arrange 3 crispy crackers per serving on a plate. Spoon warm scrambled egg mixture generously over crackers.
7. Garnish & Finish: Top with fresh cilantro, crushed roasted peanuts, and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
