Street Food Challenge

Deep Fried Soft Boiled Egg with Cabbage and Cucumber Slaw (Kwek-kwek)


A popular street food in the Philippines, Kwek-kwek, is deep fried boiled egg in annatto colored batter. This is usually served with a cucumber and guso (seaweed) salad with spicy vinegar. In my version, I used saffron instead of annatto powder and soft boiled the egg instead of hard boiling. The runny yolk compliments the vinegary slaw and adds more flavor.
