Ingredients
- 12 egg
- ¼ cup neutral cooking oil and extra for frying, generic cooking oil
- 1 lemongrass bruised and cut an inch long.
- 4 kaffir lime leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt or according to taste.
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
Spice paste:
- 8.82 ounces red chilli
- 1 onion chopped, medium brown or yellow
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tomato
Instructions
- Boil the eggs until fully cooked and hard. It takes approximately 10 minutes to hard boil the eggs at room temperature. If your eggs have been refrigerated, it will take 3-4 minutes longer.
- Peel the eggs and deep fry them for about 2-3 minutes to harden the outer layer of eggs (see the note). Set aside.
- Grind all the spice paste ingredients into a smooth paste. You can use a pestle and mortar or a food processor.
- Heat ¼ cup of cooking oil in a cooking pan and fry the spice paste together with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Add in the salt and sugar. Let everything cook until it bubbles and the oil slightly separates from the edges. Check the taste.
- Next, place the eggs in the chilli mixture and give it a good stir so the sauce will cover all the eggs. You can add ¼ cup of water in and cook further as you keep stirring every now and then until the sauce is bubbling and simmering.
Notes
- You may skip deep-frying the eggs if you want. Just make sure you hard-boil the eggs so they won’t break easily.
- Fry the chilli sambal until really cooked without any runny liquid.
