Telur Extra PDS: A Spicy Indonesian Egg Dish
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 10-12 small red chilies (adjust to taste)
- 3 red chilies (for a richer flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 shallots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed)
Instructions:
-
Boil the Eggs: Start by boiling the eggs until they are fully cooked. Once they are done, carefully peel off the shells and set the eggs aside.
-
Prepare the Spice Paste: In a blender or mortar and pestle, combine the small red chilies, red chilies, garlic, and shallots. Blend or grind these ingredients into a smooth paste.
-
Cook the Spice Paste: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground spice paste to the pan and sauté until it becomes fragrant and the raw aroma of the garlic and shallots dissipates.
-
Add Seasonings: Pour in a little water to loosen the spice paste. Stir in the salt, chicken bouillon, and sugar. Cook the mixture until the flavors meld together and the paste thickens slightly.
-
Combine with Eggs: Gently add the boiled eggs to the pan with the spice mixture. Stir gently to ensure that the eggs are coated with the spicy paste. Allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the eggs are well coated and have absorbed the flavors of the spice mixture, remove from heat. Serve the Telur Extra PDS warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy this flavorful and spicy Indonesian egg dish, perfect as a main or side for your next meal!
