Spicy Simmered Eggs with Kale

I made this breakfast quite a while ago. Back in April or May if I recall correctly. But I've been falling a bit behind on write-ups, so I still have quite a few gaps to fill in.

This came out surprisingly tasty! I was expecting it to be passable, but nothing special. But it was actually delicious! I loved this!
