Sweet Soy Glazed Eggs (Semur Telur ala Bundakeia)

Semur Telur ala Bundakeia

Ingredients:

• 5 large eggs
• 3 shallots, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 red tomato, sliced
• 300 cc water
• 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
• Salt, sugar, and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil

Steps:

1. Heat the Oil:
   Begin by heating a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced shallots, chopped garlic, and sliced tomato. Sauté these ingredients until they become fragrant and the shallots turn translucent.

2. Prepare the Broth:
   Pour the water into the pan and stir the mixture well. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil. This will create a flavorful broth base for the semur.

3. Season the Sauce:
   Once the water is boiling, add the sweet soy sauce, and season with salt, sugar, and pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the flavors are well combined.

4. Cook the Eggs:
   Gently place the eggs into the pan one by one. Reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently. It’s important not to stir the mixture during this time, as stirring can break the eggs and affect their texture. Allow the eggs to cook through and absorb the flavors from the sauce.

5. Final Touches:
   Once the eggs are cooked and have absorbed the flavors, give the mixture a gentle stir to combine. Transfer the semur telur to a serving bowl.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Your Semur Telur ala Bundakeia is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve hot and savor this delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of sweet soy sauce with the hearty texture of eggs. Perfect as a main or side dish!
