Discover Telur Balado, a popular Indonesian home-style dish featuring fried eggs coated in a rich, spicy red chili sauce inspired by Padang-style cooking. In this anime-style cooking video, Aiko prepares a smaller one-serving version. The original recipe below uses six eggs and provides the full ingredient list and cooking instructions. ORIGINAL RECIPE — 6 EGGS Ingredients - 6 eggs - 10 curly red chilies - 3–4 large red chilies - 8 shallots - 4 garlic cloves - 2 ripe tomatoes - 1 stalk lemongrass, bruised - 2–4 kaffir lime leaves - Approximately 4 tablespoons cooking oil, plus extra as needed - Salt, to taste - A little sugar - Stock powder, optional - 100–150 ml water, optional, for a saucier version Instructions 1. Boil the eggs for 8–10 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Cool them in cold water, peel, and dry thoroughly. 2. Heat cooking oil over medium to medium-low heat. Fry the eggs for about 3–5 minutes, turning gently until the surfaces become wrinkled and lightly golden. Remove and drain. 3. Grind the curly red chilies, large red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomatoes into a coarse chili paste. 4. Leave approximately 4 tablespoons of oil in the pan. Add the chili paste, bruised lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. 5. Cook over medium-low heat for about 8–10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the paste becomes darker, glossy, fragrant, and begins to release red oil. 6. Season with salt, a little sugar, and optional stock powder. Add 100–150 ml water if you prefer more sauce. 7. Add the fried eggs and gently turn them to coat evenly with the chili sauce. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes until the sauce clings to the eggs. 8. Serve warm with steamed rice. Cooking Tips - Dry the peeled eggs thoroughly before frying to reduce oil splatter. - Cook the chili paste thoroughly until its raw chili smell disappears. - Adjust the number of chilies according to your preferred spice level.
