Belado Eggs #322 translated from Groot Indonesisch Kookboek, Beb Vuyk, page 271.
Ingredients
5 duck or chicken eggs
2 tablespoons of oil
herbs
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 chopped cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon sambal ulek
2 tablespoons tomato paste
salt
In Asia, you can buy duck eggs anywhere. I love them. They are bigger, firmer and taste just a little more intense than chicken eggs.
You can make this belado as spicy as you want. Delicious with homemade sambal.
I rub the onions and garlic with sambal (chili salsa) and a teaspoon of salt. Then I scoop the tomato puree through and sauté the paste in two tablespoons of oil.
My eggs, I’ve cooked for about 10 minutes, can go stripped into the pan too.
Beb sautées the eggs on their flat site in the pan. I do it a bit differently. I scoop them through and let this simmer for a few minutes.
