Telur Balado Padang
Ingredients:
- 200 grams red chilies
- 4 shallots
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1/2 kg eggs (approximately 10 large eggs)
- Salt to taste
- Flavor enhancer (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by boiling the eggs until they are hard-boiled. Once cooked, peel the eggs and then fry them in oil until they turn a golden brown. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Spice Paste: While the eggs are frying, prepare the spice paste. Blend the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and ripe tomato together until smooth. Add salt to taste and a small amount of flavor enhancer if desired. For a deeper flavor, you can pre-cook the spice paste by boiling it briefly before blending.
-
Cook the Spice Paste: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste to the hot oil and cook, stirring continuously, until the paste turns a deep red and the oil starts to separate from the paste. Be careful not to let the paste burn; you want it cooked through but not overly dry.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the spice paste is ready, turn off the heat and add the fried eggs to the pan. Gently toss the eggs in the spicy mixture until they are well-coated.
