Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 8 pieces Red chilies (adjust to taste)
- 6 medium Shallots
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral-flavored)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs, let them cool slightly, and peel the shells.
Step 2
Optional step for crispy eggs: Lightly score the surface of the peeled eggs with a knife to create shallow lines, then fry the eggs in 1 tablespoon of oil until golden and lightly blistered. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Prepare the sambal: Grind or blend the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomatoes into a coarse paste using a mortar and pestle or a blender. Add a small amount of water if needed to help blend.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sambal paste and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates and the mixture smells fragrant.
Step 5
Season the sambal with salt, sugar, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Add the boiled (and optionally fried) eggs to the pan. Gently stir until the eggs are evenly coated with the sambal sauce.
Step 7
Simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Serve hot with steamed rice.
