That is why the eggs get a dark green appearance and taste alkaline. Traditionally, eggs were preserved in salt, quicklime, clay, ash, and rice hulls for weeks.

• Eggs
• Fish sauce – 1tbsp for 12 grilled eggs
• Brown sugar- 1 tbsp
• Pepper- quarter teaspoon

Make a hole in the egg carefully using a large needle. This needs practice and precision as the hole should be large enough to empty the yolk. Take out the yolks, chefs do it in style by pushing the yolk out of the shell in just one blow. Can you do that?

Turn off the streamer once yolks mix starts popping out. Refrigerate for a night and grilled them the next day by pricking a skewer inside the shells. Peel them and enjoy hot.
