Begin by boiling the prawn crackers in 500 ml of water until they become soft and translucent. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and shallots to the pan and sauté until the shallots become translucent.
Stir in the sliced red chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and galangal. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder, salt, sugar, and kaffir lime leaves, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Introduce the drained boiled prawn crackers back into the pan, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture.
Add chopped celery and spring onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Lightly whisk the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the pan, stirring continuously to scramble and combine with the cracker mixture.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and integrated with the seblak mixture.
Serve hot, garnishing with additional spring onions or celery if desired.
