2. Fry the Eggs and Eggplant: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the boiled eggs until they have a golden brown crust. Remove and set aside. In the same oil, fry the eggplant pieces until they are tender and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Sambal Paste: In a pot of boiling water, blanch the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato until they are soft. Drain and place them in a blender. Add a little oil and blend until you achieve a coarse paste.

4. Cook the Sambal: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended sambal paste and cook until fragrant. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Add salt, sugar, and flavor enhancer to taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the fried eggs and eggplant to the sambal. Stir well to ensure they are evenly coated with the sambal. Add the sliced green onions and continue to cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the green onions to soften slightly.

6. Serve: Once the flavors are well combined and the sambal has been absorbed by the eggs and eggplant, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Sambal Telur with Eggplant as a spicy and savory delight, perfect with steamed rice.

Notes

• Adjust the amount of red chilies to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
• The sambal paste can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
• For a more intense flavor, you can let the eggs and eggplant sit in the sambal for a longer time before serving.

Enjoy this tantalizing and fiery dish that brings together the richness of boiled eggs, the tender texture of eggplant, and the vibrant, spicy notes of sambal. Perfect for those who love a bit of heat in their meals!
