Telur Orak Arik: A Delightful Indonesian Scrambled Egg Dish
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ carrot, finely julienned
- A handful of cabbage, thinly sliced (not too thin)
- A handful of green onions, thinly sliced (not too thin)
- 1 ½ shallots, finely chopped
- ½ clove garlic, minced
- Seasoning to taste (I use Royco Beef)
- ½ pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- Butter or margarine (I use Blue Band)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well. Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of ground black pepper, and a moderate amount of seasoning (about 2 pinches of Royco Beef).
-
Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of butter or margarine to coat the pan.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Once the butter has melted and is hot, add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are translucent.
-
Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for a few moments, then gently stir and scramble them until they begin to form soft curds.
-
Add Vegetables: Incorporate the julienned carrot, sliced cabbage, and green onions into the pan. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly wilted, and the eggs are cooked through.
-
Season to Taste: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed.
-
Serve: Transfer the Telur Orak Arik to a serving plate and enjoy!
