Wash and dry the pacayas that were stored in vinegar.

In a blender, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, green bell pepper, cilantro, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Separate the egg whites and yolks from 5 eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the yolks while continuing to beat.

Heat oil in a frying pan for frying the pacayas.

Dip each pacaya into the egg mixture and carefully place it in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, flipping to ensure even cooking.

Once golden, remove from oil and set aside.

In a separate pot, heat the blended tomato sauce until it simmers.

Carefully add the fried pacayas to the simmering sauce and let cook for about 10 minutes.

Serve with rice and a simple salad of lettuce, tomato, onion, and peanuts.
