These balado eggs are really fun because the boiled eggs are fried first so that the skin is a bit crispy, then doused with spicy red balado sauce that is blended finely from chilies, onions, shallots, and tomatoes. The taste is a combination of spicy, a little sour from the tomatoes, and a fragrant aroma from lime leaves or lemongrass—especially if you use lime leaves or lemongrass in the sauce.
Telur Bacem is a traditional Javanese dish featuring cooked eggs in a sweet and savory sauce. It's made by boiling eggs in a mixture of sweet soy sauce, brown sugar, spices such as coriander, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and bay leaves, then cooking until the sauce reduces and the eggs are completely absorbed. The result: rich, brown eggs that are perfect as a side dish with warm rice or as a casual snack.
