Eggstra Recipe

I practically love eggs in anyway, soy braised, fried, boiled, steamed...etc.Thankfully I am not one of those who are allergic eggs or I would have been missing out on many things(Food) in life. This recipe is inspired by one of my primary school teachers who cooked a mean but extremely delicious Sambal Telor for breakfast for us during school camp. We had Nasi Lemak for breakfastwith only this dish and cucumbers so all the attention was focused on this wonderful dish with a great sambal chili. This is one of the best memories of my childhood. For the health conscious, you can choose not to deep fry the egg.
