Sambal Tumis Telur (Egg Sambal)

Sambal Tumis Telur

Sambal Tumis Telur is a simple recipe to make if you need to make something out of your pantry quick. However, its cooking time is dependent on how quick dried chili paste is cooking and it need to be cooked at low heat to avoid burning the chili. The egg first need to be hard boiled before frying after peeling the skin off to get crispy outer texture. Then sauce is cooked before we combine both together.
