Son-in-Law Eggs Recipe ไข่ลูกเขย - Hot Thai Kitchen!

This is one of the most popular dishes for kids in Thailand, and it was definitely my favourite! I'm not really sure why it's called "son-in-law eggs" even though there are lots of theories, but whatever the reason, it's a delicious and unique dish that you must try at least once in your life!
Medium-boiled eggs (preferably duck eggs) is deep fried in hot oil so they develop a browned chewy skin that gives the eggs a distinct texture. Then a sweet-and-sour tamarind sauce is drizzled over it, topped with crispy fried shallots and garlic chips. For the adults in the family, break up the crispy dried chilies and add a little spice to your eggs! The combination of these ingredients is magical, and it'll be like nothing you've ever had. This is one of those classic Thai dishes that most Thai people grow up on, and I really hope you try it out!

can you please teach me the thai bbq dipping sauce. This is comonly found outside bars in thailand where bbq vendors sell bbq chicken and sausages on sticks.....with this sauce and cucumber.

[@joshsmit779]

Such an involved recipe with the separate frying of different things. I'll probably try it anyway though lol.

[@camilled9306]

[@osterne1]

Great. Thank you very much for this jewel.

[@kanzadani3317]

Hey looks yummy. Can we use regular Suger instead of palm suger ?

[@peterstang]

Another good recipe for some boiled eggs. Thank you.

[@hasukiroedge27]

We also fry hard boiled eggs in the Philippines we called it kwek kwek. It has cheeto orange color coating (annatto) with sweet sauce or vinegar with garlic. I'm gonna try this one.

[@passionfruitfruit]

[@Veedr0]

It's been over 20 years since I last had this dish

[@sssssssssemaj]

My favorite!!

[@joyabaya]

This looks sooo sooo good....so hungry now (even though I've just had my dinner).....Please advice What can I substitute for tamarind sauce? Thank you...

[@PailinsKitchen]

For this dish, I would suggest try to find tamarind. It's not hard to find and it's the main flavour.

[@shoshoazim9377]

This kind if suger I dont think we have thxxx can I use normal suger white

[@Tiaimo]

You can use it but the texture of sauce will be difference since the palm sugar provide more sticky and gluey. Even though both sugar provide sweetness for food but it won't be the same. Palm sugar make your food more smoother than white sugar. One simple theory to cook Thais food about sugar is Palm sugar - For every dishes that use meat. White / Brown sugar - For desert. Some dish might not follow above rule but mostly it is. Especially if that dish use coconut milk, Plam sugar is a must. This dish reminds me a lot of my childhood since it's delicious and cheap. Anyway hope you enjoy your meal.

[@cesarbattistini]

Making that tomorrow!

[@ibrahimwaheed3897]

I love this too. พ่อชอบมากลูก

[@rohitpillai3432]

can I use demerara sugar and jaggery instead of palm sugar in this recipe as a substitute? ??plz help me

[@DivaLatinaANNI]

That looks soooo darn yummy! How you fried the egg is how my aunt used to fry them and then put them in a curry sauce. We make a dish ( literally called egg ball) and it's boiled mashed buttered cassava wrapped around a boiled egg then fried and it's eaten with tamarind sauce as well . My stepdad is Guyanese but I think egg ball is generally a Caribbean snack :)

[@PailinsKitchen]

sounds yummy!

[@mahadi024]

Wow

[@CurliQueCowGrrrl]

Please give some advice on how to medium boil duck eggs. I got some at my local Hmong grocery store, and this recipe looks DELICIOUS!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Adam here - and I think you're going to have to ask her that one directly as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old (as per her note above). You can check out options to get hold of her here hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers!

[@kamma44]

When I first read the title I thought it was 'your' son-in-law's eggs recipe, or something? And I thought...Pailin has a son-in-law?! Isn't she a little young to be having a son-in-law? Recipe definitely looks interesting :)

can I use jaggery instead of Palm sugar and can I replace fish sauce with any other sauce

[@PailinsKitchen]

jaggery is fine, soy sauce can be used but it won't taste the same.

[@user-rv6zu2zl7m]

I just had it yesterday. My maid cooked it for me. Sometimes we use fried eggs instead and call it 'Daughter-in-law's egg'.

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

lol!

[@knine2five]

+Adam Hunter it's not humor or joke guy, we also have this kind of menu in Thailand

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

I didn't think so - I'm just delighted that there is a "Daughter-in-Law eggs as well :)

[@venicawood3894]

[@charm_plays]

I'm a filipino and i love to eat this when i was in thailand. Now that i'm home here in the Philippines, i want to cook it. But what if i don't have palm sugar and tamarind here in our place, is there any substitute for these two? Can i use brown sugar and lemon instead?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi there, and Adam here - re the palm sugar you can use light brown sugar, and for tamarind use lime juice if you can. Cheers!

[@youreanonshareer]

Love the shirt

[@zyberjunker]

Hey Guys... Anybody know the Thai name of the thai dish that is like a son in law eggs? So instead of boil eggs, it has ground pork stir fried on top of "Kai Dow" ( fried eggs) Topping is somewhat test like the stuffing for Thai stuffed omelette.

[@watissotthibandhu2354]

Zyber junker Kai Ra Berd or Exploding Eggs. My favourite! Although the sauce is different... It's made from holy basil, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, chilli, etc. More like fried eggs topped with Pad Ka Prao with tomato sauce.

[@SilEvo86]

you're so pretty

[@Art-qy6gd]

Are all different fish sauce spicy?

[@venicawood3894]

Fish sauce is not spicy.

I don't have Palm sugar so can I use Demerara sugar or jaggery as a substitute for this recipe.????

[@maeannengo4908]

Is it just me or the sauce is similar to Pad Thai?

Hi Joy! Her recipes are never on Facebook but are on the web site and linked in the description above under "Show More". Where did you see that the recipe is on Facebook? Cheers! Adam

[@reggea4ever]

maybe the mother disapproves the son inlaw but her daughter insist on marrying him so she cut off his eggs and cooked them although i could be wrong??

[@loriki8766]

I saw another video with an older Thai woman saying that mothers served these to SILs to remind them that if they beat her daughter then this is what will happen to his "eggs".
