Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Fried teri jengki (lightly cooked) 100 grams (approx. 3.5 oz)

Red shallots (sliced) 8-10 cloves
Red curly chili peppers (ground) 8 pieces

Salt 1 teaspoon
Granulated sugar ½ teaspoon
Bouillon powder ½ teaspoon
Cooking oil 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground red chili peppers and sauté briefly, taking care not to let the shallots dry out.

  2. Incorporate the lightly fried teri into the mixture, followed by salt, sugar, and bouillon powder. Stir well to combine, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If using, add the sliced green onions.

  3. Once the flavors meld beautifully and the taste is to your liking, remove the pan from heat. Serve hot alongside warm steamed rice.
