Eggs sambal

I was browsing through My Kitchen Snippets and found this absolutely simple recipe. Since I was really lazy to cook dinner yesterday, I just thought of giving it a try.

Eggs sambal

Ingredients
5 hard boiled eggs
1 large onions – sliced thinly
1 clove of garlic - chopped
2 tbsp of chili paste or sambal olek (more if you like it spicy)
2 tbsp of tomato ketchup
1 tbsp of lemon juice (optional)
Some water
1 tbsp of sugar
Salt to taste

Method
1. Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in pan and shallow fry the hard-boiled eggs till eggs are slightly browned. Remove eggs and set aside.
2. Add in garlic and onion and stir well until aromatic and lightly brown. Add in the chili paste and tomato ketchup. Stir for a few second and gradually add in some water.
3. Add salt and sugar to taste. Return fried eggs to the sambal mixture coat evenly and allow to boil until sambal is reduced in liquid.

The final taste was all right. Hubby said it wasn't as expected ie.eggs sambal. I guess it was that tad of tomato ketchup and sugar that make it less spicy and hence lack the 'sambal' taste. Probably will reduce the tomato ketchup and add in some belacan granules in the future.
