Sambal egg. Sambal—precisely cooked sambal—is a notably versatile and robust component in traditional Malaysian cooking. It's the building block of many scrumptious and colorful Malay and Nyonya dishes and marries well with wide array of ingredients: seafood, tofu, eggs, and vegetables. As a spicy food lover, there is nothing I love more than hot and spicy sambal chilli.

Once I tried to cook this but I couldn't get the correct appearance & taste. Last week I saw a linked post to my ongoing event Hot & Spicy treats from Daily-Cuppa blog. By seen the recipe, I wanted to try it again & it came out nicely. The difference lies in the way the sambal is made.

Prep your wok, put oil in, on low heat cook the sambal paste until fragrant add the fried hard boiled eggs, season well and add the palm sugar. Stir and gently fold until all the eggs are covered with the sambal..
No step 3. You're done :) (althought this seems like a hot dish,guess what? Its not spicy at all)..

Indonesian sambal eggs will likely have kecap manis and tamarind paste in the sauce, most Malaysian versions do not include those ingredients but, instead, has shrimp paste added to the sambal. The dish is ready when the eggs are cooked in the sauce and the whites are firm. Cooked sambal is what you'll find in recipes like today's Sambal Telur (eggs) and Sambal Udang (prawns), while raw sambal is a condiment served on the side to add an extra kick of flavour and heat - just the way you like it! Slice into big bite size pieces. Toss sliced egg plants in a large mixing bowl with the minced garlic, canola oil, salt, and black pepper.
