ไข่ลูกทอด

Origin

Khai luk tod is a beloved snack originating from Northern Thailand, particularly in Chiang Mai and Lamphun provinces. Created to make use of readily available ingredients like chicken eggs, this dish is deep-fried until golden and crispy, making it a delicious choice for evening meals or small gatherings.

Appearance and Taste

Khai luk tod consists of small golden-yellow balls with a crispy outer shell and a soft, juicy center. It carries a pleasant aroma of eggs and garlic. The taste is savory-sweet and well-balanced, sometimes enhanced with a touch of black pepper or holy basil leaves for added fragrance.

Ingredients

Chicken eggs, sugar, fish sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, holy basil (optional), and flour

Serving Suggestion

Serve with steaming hot rice or enjoy as a snack with cold drinks such as coconut water or beer. For the best experience, consume immediately after frying to fully appreciate its crispiness.
