1573. Karak and Egg Sandwich

I do have a karak recipe on MCW, but this is a re-iteration as best presented in corner tea shops: an unbeatable combination of karak and an egg sandwich either for breakfast, or an anytime snack.   

A good karak has a crazy amount of tea bags per litre. There is a beautiful hue that is associated with just the right amount of tea concentration and evaporated milk ratio. As for the egg sandwich, it is as simple as could be, and simple is best here. Oil, egg, and a tortilla; cheese optional.

Ingredients:

For the karak: 

1 litre water

6 tea bags

4 Tbsp sugar

1/3 cup evaporated milk

For the egg sandwich: per person

oil

1 egg

salt and pepper

2 Tbsp grated cheese, optional

1 tortilla 

Method:

Make the karak: brew the tea bags in the water by bringing to a boil in a kettle then simmering for a good 7 to 10 minutes. Add the sugar and dissolve. Add the evaporated milk, and simmer lightly for 5 more minutes.

Make the egg sandwich: in a small pan, heat a little oil to cook the egg. Whisk the egg in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg in the hot pan and while the egg is still liquid, put the tortilla over it. Allow the gg to cook for a minute before flipping so the tortilla is down. If using cheese, add it on the egg at this point, fold the sandwich in half, and cook a few seconds more on both sides to brown the tortilla and melt the cheese. Serve the egg sandwich and karak hot together.
