Cook Like A Pro: Curry egg bites recipe

Take your taste buds on a trip across the continent with this beginner Burmese recipe from Club Rangoon.

We haven’t exactly had the opportunity to travel the world and sample much international food this year, but thanks to Club Rangoon, which opened just a couple months ago, you can sample a taste of Myanmar from your own home. A popular order at the Soho restaurant, this delectable appetiser draws inspiration from a humble curry dish commonly seen in the rural areas of Myanmar, with the simple egg as the star of the show. Packing a whole lot of flavour into bite-sized morsels, this will make the perfect side dish to any meal, so get cracking!

Ahead, Club Rangoon’s head chef Karisa Cheque shares her tried and tested recipe for Village-Style Curry Egg Bites. Rest assured, it’s Hong Kong-kitchen friendly (i.e. there’s no oven required) and suitable for beginners!

Sassy Tip: You can order a vegetarian version of this dish at the restaurant, which uses a different meat-free sauce base.

This dish was inspired by the curry culture of Burma. Burma has a wide range of different curries and using egg for a curry is also quite popular around the country, especially in the more rural areas. Our version is turned into a starter rather than a main.

This dish is simple to make and can even be eaten as a main for dinner! It also has a very different type of curry flavour compared to others, so it’s a great recipe to try if you’re feeling a little adventurous.
