This is the first time I have tried grilled eggs, and was quite surprised. They turned out real well, and we enjoyed the fish sauce on these. Quite an easy recipe too. Had great taste too. Served this with recipe#429125#429125. -
This is the first time I have cooked eggs like this (cooked on indoor electric grill) and the sauce was scrumptious (I just made it in a small screw top jar and gave it a good shake and will use the left overs to make another batch) soon. Thank you Chocolat! made for Chinese/Vietnamese New Year tag game. -
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!! The only problem was I used my griddler instead of my real indoor grill and it took sooooooo long & they didn't brown. We loved wrapping them up in the lettuce leaves & dipping into the sauce - we have plenty of sauce left over so I'm going to make more this weekend. Thank you!

After spending a week dealing with a snow storm where I live, it was nice to just come home and turn on the gas grill and in a short time have something quick and delicious to eat. Be careful though since I forgot they were hot while trying to shell them and Oh, owwww!!. I think I will dunk them into cold water so I can shell them a little quicker next time. Dinner was nothing fancy, just rice cooker rice and the eggs but that was fine since I was that tired.
