Tokneneng is a Filipino street food in which a hard-boiled egg is dipped in reddish or orange batter and then deep fried until crispy. It doesn’t offer much taste, as its just hard-boiled egg. But dipping it in a spiced vinegar dip enrich the flavor and makes it so good that its sometimes addicting. As a street food, it meets the standard, cheap, appetizing, can be eaten while standing and fills a hungry stomach the way regular meals do. Its kind of healthy in that sense as it helps people get back their energy, so its become popular throughout the country that in every corner or food stand vendors have included this dish in their snacks, like banana q, fried squid balls, fried tofu, spring rolls etc. Because of its abundance in individual production, tokneneng is not often made in homes. But the recipe is fairly simple, so trying it out won’t hurt a bit.
