Recipe from Thailand. The eggs are often referred to as millennial.
Heat a pan and fry the meat until cooked through. Then add the shrimp and continue frying until pink. This goes quite quickly. Stir constantly. Set aside on a plate. Mix the sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Season to taste; the sauce should be strongly seasoned, as it will be diluted by the other ingredients. Add the garlic and chilies. Now mix the sauce with the pork and shrimp, and add the shallots, celery, peanuts, and tomatoes. Line a platter or large plate with lettuce leaves and spread the meat mixture on top. Arrange the egg quarters on top, sprinkle the lettuce with ginger, and add coriander sprigs. You can buy these hundred-year-old eggs at well-stocked Asian stores.
