Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 bunch of petai (stink beans)
  • 10 bird’s eye chilies
  • 4 red chilies
  • 3 shallots
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 candle nut
  • Palm sugar (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Flavor enhancer (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Begin by boiling the eggs until they are fully cooked. Once done, remove them from the water, let them cool, and then peel off the shells.

  2. Separate the Petai: Carefully remove the petai from their pods and set aside.

  3. Make the Spice Paste: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, combine the bird’s eye chilies, red chilies, candle nut, garlic, shallots, a pinch of salt, and palm sugar. Grind the ingredients into a smooth paste.

  4. Cook the Spice Paste: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste to the pan and sauté until it becomes fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.

  5. Combine Ingredients: Gently add the boiled eggs to the pan, stirring to coat them with the spice paste. Add the petai and mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined.

  6. Season: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and flavor enhancer if desired.

  7. Serve: Once the eggs are well-coated and heated through, and the petai is tender, the dish is ready to be served. Enjoy your delicious Telur Balut Sambal Pete!
