Crepes with apples and salted dulce de leche

There are three stages in making this dish. Caramelizing the apples, making the salted caramel and cooking the crepes. You can do them in any order but since I cooked the apples in the pan before I made the crepes, that is how the recipe is written.

Thai stuffed omelette (khai yat sai)

Chopped mushrooms, vegetables, herbs and spices are sauteed, stirred into beaten eggs and poured into a hot pan. Rolling the cooked omelette into a log and cutting it into thin slices is purely optional.

A very lightly seasoned omelette, the dish comes alive when drizzled with a sweet-sour-spicy sauce, and served with fried shallots and the leaves of cilantro.

Sambal eggs

Spicy, citrusy, salty and sweet all at the same time, the secret to sambal eggs is frying hard-boiled eggs before simmering in the sauce to blister the surface to enable to spicy sauce to stick to it better. Serve these spicy eggs for breakfast, as a side dish for lunch or dinner, or as a snack.
