Yam khai maeng da

Method

1. 1 Grill the entire horseshoe crab shell over charcoal for 15 minutes, then remove the eggs inside.
2. 2 Grill the eggs whole, without removing them beforehand; the shell keeps the eggs from crumbling and allows them to absorb the smoke.
3. 3 Only use edible horseshoe crabs; the round-shelled sea cucumbers are poisonous and should be absolutely avoided.
4. 4 Crush the Thai chili peppers and mix them with fish sauce, lemon juice, and palm sugar.
5. 5 Slice the green mango and lemongrass into thin strips, then mix with sliced red onion.
6. 6 Mix the quail eggs with the vegetables and sauce just before serving, then sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts and herbs.
