Telur Ceplok Sambel: A Delightful Indonesian Fried Egg with Spicy Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs (fried)
- 1/2 tomato, chopped
- Curly chili peppers, sliced (to taste)
- Masako chicken seasoning (to taste)
- Sugar (to taste)
- Water (as needed)
- Oil (for frying)
For the Spice Paste:
- 3 curly chili peppers
- 4 shallots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tomato
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fried Eggs: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the eggs until the whites are crispy and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
-
Make the Spice Paste: In a blender or food processor, combine the curly chili peppers, shallots, garlic, and 1/2 tomato. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
-
Cook the Sauce: In the same pan used for frying the eggs, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the spice paste and sauté over medium heat until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.
-
Add Flavorings: Pour in a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency. Stir in Masako chicken seasoning and a pinch of sugar to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
-
Combine and Serve: Gently fold the fried eggs into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cook for another minute or two, allowing the eggs to absorb some of the flavors.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Telur Ceplok Sambel warm with steamed rice or as a side dish.
Happy cooking! 🌟
