Method
- Remove the yolks from the egg-white halves without tearing the whites. Mash the yolks finely in a bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until softened.
- Add the ground pork and break it into fine crumbs. Cook until no pink remains and the edges begin to brown.
- Stir in bell pepper and raisins, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the mixture is dry rather than saucy. Cool completely.
- Mix the cooled pork with the mashed yolks. The filling should hold together when pressed; add a spoonful of beaten egg only if it feels crumbly.
- Pack the filling firmly into the egg-white cavities, forming a small mound, then chill 15 minutes.
- Dust each stuffed half lightly with flour and dip in beaten egg. Shallow-fry filling-side down over medium heat until golden, then turn briefly to heat the white.
- Drain on a rack or paper towel and serve warm with banana ketchup or spiced vinegar.
