Grab your favourite pantry ingredients for this yummy, 10-min lunch fix. This quick and easy meal also makes for a healthy protein snack or post workout snack. All you need are some boiled eggs and a side salad, topped with our spicy Timur Chilli Crisp Topping.

Chef’s note:

  • Salt water is the magic solution that seals up any cracked eggs and stops them from shooting strings of egg white in your pot. For the perfect set of boiled eggs, just add a teaspoon of salt to the water and it will help the egg whites solidify faster.
  • As the recipe calls for common pantry ingredients, you can pick salad greens or other veggie toppings of your choice to mix with the eggs, before drizzling over our spicy Timur Chilli Crisp Topping, made with cold-pressed oil.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of Boombay’s Timur Chilli Crisp Topping
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 to 5 mixed Lettuce such as Romaine and Iceberg
  • Roasted Sesame Seeds to garnish
