Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set aside.

   Yaklaşık 15 dk.

   Aşçının notu: An ice bath helps stop the cooking process and makes eggs easier to peel.

2. 2

   Roughly chop the red chilies, bird's eye chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato for the balado paste.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

3. 3

   Place the chopped ingredients for the balado paste into a food processor or blender. Add a splash of water if needed to help blend.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: For a more traditional texture, use a mortar and pestle to grind the paste.

4. 4

   Blend or grind until a coarse paste forms. It doesn't need to be perfectly smooth.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

6. 6

   Carefully add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the whites are lightly golden and slightly crispy.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Frying the eggs adds texture and helps them absorb the sauce better.

7. 7

   Remove the fried eggs from the pan and set them aside, leaving the oil in the pan.

8. 8

   Add the balado paste to the same pan with the remaining oil. Sauté the paste for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is fragrant and the oil separates.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Cooking the paste thoroughly is crucial for developing its deep flavor and aroma.

9. 9

   Stir in the brown sugar, salt, and kaffir lime leaves.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

10. 10

    Return the fried eggs to the pan and gently toss them to coat evenly with the balado sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Yaklaşık 3 dk.
