    Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat and sauté the bell pepper and shallots until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Stir in the red curry paste, garlic, and ginger, cooking for 2 minutes until the paste becomes fragrant and slightly darker.

  3. 3

    Pour in the coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, and soy sauce, stirring well to combine all ingredients into a smooth sauce.

  4. 4

    Simmer the sauce uncovered for 10 minutes over medium-low heat until it has thickened slightly.

  5. 5

    Use the back of a spoon to create five small wells in the simmering sauce.

  6. 6

    Carefully crack one egg into each well, then cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid.

  7. 7

    Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
