Thailand claims this recipe as a national dish, but in actual fact, it is not. This is an interesting derivation from what are generally known as Hungarian eggs, but the derivation is left-overs and is something that can be made from items found in most family fridges. These types of home cooking recipes always reflect not just the tastes of the region, but also the most abundant and cheapest ingredients.
