Indonesian Spicy Fried Eggs with Sweet Soy and Oyster Sauce

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Prepare the Fried Eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the eggs and drain on a paper towel.
Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Slice the garlic, red onion, yellow onion, and red bird’s eye chilies thinly. Sauté the sliced ingredients in the skillet until they release their fragrant aroma and become soft.
Add Sauces:
- Pour in the sweet soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add a splash of water to help the flavors meld together. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.
Incorporate the Fried Eggs:
- Gently place the fried eggs into the skillet, making sure to coat them with the sauce mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to ensure the eggs are well coated and heated through.
Finish and Serve:
- Continue to cook until the sauce has reduced slightly and is thickened to your liking. Remove from heat. Transfer the Tumis Telor Ceplok to a serving plate.
Enjoy:
- Serve hot with a side of steaming white rice for a complete and satisfying meal. The rich flavors of the sauce paired with the savory fried eggs create a delightful dish that’s perfect for any meal.

Tips:

Adjust the amount of bird’s eye chilies according to your spice preference.
For a touch of freshness, consider garnishing with sliced scallions or a sprinkle of fried shallots.
