I think I almost have a new favorite spice paste after this dish.
Or perhaps a new third place after laksa and massaman. (there's green curry paste as well - who can choose!!)
The inclusion of the black-beans in the paste gives it a Chinese angle which is a great combination. The recipe included what I thought was going to be way too much belacan (on top of the belacan already on the spice paste), but the dish was in no way too pungent. The flavours seemed to go really well with the eggs.
I did use a little extra coconut milk which didn't seem to matter as the flavours were quite rich.
Plus I dropped out one of the eggs to keep it to an odd number for presentation.
Happy cooking!
