Coconut Ant Eggs (and a few ants)
Coconut Ant Eggs (and a few ants)
This is a basic, but often hard to find dish. As the name implies, this is made from ant eggs, the ants are the red flying variety. Surprisingly enough, the eggs taste like hard boiled chicken eggs. This actually very good, I have had this many times in Northern Thailand. Measurements are approximate.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ant eggs, there will be ants in there as well, that is ok
- 1 1/2-2 cups grated coconut
- salt, taste
Instructions
- Grate the coconut. Rinse the ant eggs.
- Add the coconut to a pot and add water to cover by about 1 inch, bring to a boil, add the ant eggs and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes (there, you made coconut milk), serve over rice.
Notes
Well under $1 per serving.
