These Thai-style eggs are traditionally deep-fried and doused in sugary caramel. Here we give them a healthier twist.

30g coconut oil
1/3 cup (80ml) fish sauce
1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
4cm piece (20g) ginger, sliced
2 tsp hot chilli sauce
6 dried red chillies
Juice of 2 limes
6 soft-boiled eggs
Coriander sprigs, baby red shiso, fried shallots, black and white sesame seeds and bean sprouts, to serve

Combine oil, fish sauce, maple, ginger, chilli sauce, dried chillies and 2 tbs water in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes or until thickened.

Divide eggs, herbs, shallots, sesame seeds and bean sprouts among bowls. Drizzle with dressing to serve.
