Tokneneng

Tokneneng is a traditional dish that's sold as a street food snack. It consists of hard-boiled eggs that are dipped in an orange-colored batter, then deep-fried. The dish is traditionally made with duck eggs, but chicken eggs can also be used. The batter is made with a combination of flour, water, salt, pepper, and annatto powder (or red and yellow food coloring).


Once deep-fried, these eggs are traditionally served with a spiced vinegar-based dip on the side. There's also a variation on the dish called kwek kwek, made with quail eggs.
