Telur Balado: Spicy Indonesian Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Boiled eggs 4 pieces
Meatballs (Bakso) 10 pieces
Large red chilies 5 pieces
Shallots 5 cloves
Garlic 2 cloves
Tomato 1 piece
Bird’s eye chilies 4 pieces
Kaffir lime leaf 1 leaf
Brown sugar To taste
Salt To taste
Granulated sugar To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Begin by frying the boiled eggs briefly in hot oil until the outside is slightly golden, allowing them to absorb a hint of flavor from the oil.

  2. Make the Spice Paste: While the eggs are frying, finely grind together the large red chilies, tomato, shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chilies using a mortar and pestle or a food processor until you achieve a smooth paste.

  3. Cook the Meatballs: Slice the meatballs into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the spice paste along with the kaffir lime leaf until fragrant and the oil separates from the paste.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the fried boiled eggs and sliced meatballs to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the spice mixture.

  5. Season to Taste: Sprinkle in the salt and brown sugar, adjusting sweetness with granulated sugar if desired. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are seasoned evenly.

  6. Finish Cooking: Allow the mixture to cook together for a few minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.

  7. Serve: Once cooked to your liking, transfer the Telur Balado to a serving dish and enjoy as a delightful accompaniment to steamed rice or as part of a larger Indonesian feast.
