Prepare the Spice Paste:
- Blend together the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato until smooth. This will form your spice paste (bumbu halus).

Sauté the Spice Paste:
- Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the blended spice paste until it becomes fragrant and fully cooked. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Water and Seasonings:
- Add a small amount of water to the pan to help the spices blend. Stir well.
- Season the mixture with salt, sugar, and seasoning powder to your taste. Adjust according to your preferred level of sweetness and saltiness. Make sure to taste as you go.
-
Coat the Fried Eggs:
- Add the fried eggs into the pan, gently stirring them so that they are evenly coated with the balado spice mixture. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, ensuring the flavors are well absorbed.
-
Serve:
- Once the eggs are fully coated and the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat.
- Transfer the balado eggs to a serving plate and enjoy them with steamed rice or as a side dish to your favorite Indonesian meal.
