2. Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Ensure that the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.

3. Sauté the Spice Paste: Once the oil is hot, add the ground spice paste to the pan. Sauté for several minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant and the raw aroma dissipates, allowing the flavors to develop.

4. Add Sweet Soy Sauce and Seasonings: Stir in the sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), white sugar, Sasa seasoning (or salt), and adjust to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Cook the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the oil begins to separate from the sauce, indicating that it is cooked through.

6. Coat the Eggs: Once the sauce is ready, gently place the fried eggs into the pan, ensuring they are coated well with the spicy mixture. Allow them to cook in the sauce for a minute to absorb the flavors.

7. Serve: Transfer the telur bulat balado to a serving platter, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top. This dish is best enjoyed warm with a side of steamed rice.
