Sambal Balado Tahu Telur Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 3 blocks of firm tofu, cut into 6 pieces each
- 10 red chilies
- 4 bird’s eye chilies (cabe rawit)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 5 shallots
- 1 small tomato, diced
- Salt and sugar, to taste
- Water
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by frying the eggs and tofu separately until they are golden brown and crispy. Set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Make the Sambal Paste: In a blender or food processor, combine the red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, garlic, and shallots. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
-
Cook the Paste: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the blended sambal paste to the hot oil. Sauté the paste, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.
-
Add Tomato: Once the sambal paste is cooked through, add the diced tomato. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and blends into the sambal mixture.
-
Season and Simmer: Pour in a bit of water to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and sugar to taste. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gently add the fried eggs and tofu to the sambal sauce. Stir carefully to coat the eggs and tofu evenly with the sambal. Simmer for a few more minutes, allowing the tofu and eggs to absorb the flavors.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, your Sambal Balado Tahu Telur is ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful dish with steamed rice or as a side to your favorite main course.
