This flavorful Indonesian dish combines corned beef with scrambled eggs and a savory sauce mix, perfect for a hearty breakfast or a quick meal. Here’s how to make Orak Arik Tekor, a comforting and satisfying dish that pairs beautifully with steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon corned beef (canned or pre-cooked)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 3 tablespoons chili sauce
- Sugar, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Cooking oil, for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Garlic: Finely chop the garlic cloves to release their aromatic oils. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Sauté the Garlic: Add the chopped garlic to the hot oil and sauté until it becomes fragrant and golden brown. Be careful not to burn it, as this can make the dish taste bitter.
-
Add the Corned Beef: Stir in the corned beef, breaking it apart with your spatula. Cook it for a few minutes until it starts to brown slightly and takes on a bit of color.
-
Scramble the Egg: Push the corned beef to one side of the skillet and crack the egg into the empty space. Scramble the egg with a fork or spatula, allowing it to cook through and mix with the corned beef.
-
Season the Dish: Combine the oyster sauce, tomato ketchup, and chili sauce in a small bowl. Pour this sauce mixture over the corned beef and scrambled egg. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Adjust the Flavor: Add sugar and salt to taste, adjusting according to your preference. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
-
Serve: Once the dish is well-seasoned and everything is thoroughly mixed, remove it from the heat. Serve the Orak Arik Tekor hot, accompanied by a steaming bowl of rice.
Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make dish as a comforting meal any time of day. Its savory and slightly spicy flavors will surely become a favorite!
