Add palm sugar, tamarind, water, and fish sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly.

Thinly slice the shallots for frying and let sit with salt for at least 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

Heat oil in a wok or shallow saucepan and fry the shallots until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel.

Fry garlic slices in the same oil until light golden and drain on paper towel.

Fry dried chilies in the same oil until maroon and smoky, then drain on paper towel.

Heat more oil to cover the eggs and fry the eggs until golden brown, flipping to brown both sides. Drain on paper towel.

Cut the eggs in half and arrange on a plate, cut side up. Reheat the sauce and drizzle over the eggs. Top with fried shallots, garlic, chilies, and cilantro. Serve with jasmine rice.
