Salted Eggs, Home made!

I am not into salted eggs actually, but I do like the egg yolk in salted eggs heheh.
Hubby never allows me buying salted eggs in Asian market. He said "I don't like it" and I was afraid too, wasting money for something I'm not sure if that salted eggs in store are good or not.

Time passing by and I forgot about salted eggs. One day I saw one of my friend on facebook posting about it and she made it by herself! WOW.. Got curious and read her blog. Check this out *in bahasa Indonesia* for the tips and method : Homemade Salted eggs

It took 3 weeks to make it done, quite long. 
Well I am not in a hurry tho, like I said before "I'm curious making it my self."

I counted the best time for making it. I remember it was a week before my trip to Grand Canyon and Vegas, I soaked the eggs. I made only 2! Just for experiment. *I hope I did count it right lol*

Now I'm back from the trip and It's time to cook it. I boiled for about 1 hour.It said the longer the better, means the egg yolk part becomes oily. Between 1-1.5 hours boiling. 

The salty taste is perfectly as I want but the yolk hmm not that oily. For first trial, Not bad! Love it!

The good thing is HUBBY loves it! He just tried it and said WOW interesting, so you don't need to put salt anymore to make it salted huh.. well I guess he doesn't understand salted eggs Indonesian style >_< 

Anyway I will make it again with more eggs next time! As soon as I got some eggs :-)

I made more salted eggs as soon as I knew the salty water that's been used can be reused

I did the same thing like before

Soaked them from 7th of December 2013 

and I boiled them on Jan 2nd 2014

The way I boiled this time is simple, since I have no more medium pot for my 12 eggs, I was thinking of using rice cooker pot. It will be just the same. I chose the setting of brown rice since it will take longer time.

Soon as the water is simmering and warm, I put all the eggs, close the lid and let the rice cooker worked. After rice cooker beeped, I unplugged the cable and let the eggs inside till cooling down.

Here is the result!! OH MY GOD!! 

Alhamdulillah! this is what salted eggs should be. The oily from the yellow part came out.

Baladoo

Balado is famous food from west sumatra, Indonesia. It's hot spicy food. The main ingredient is usually eggs or meat. I put both plus tofu this time.

Preparation
3 eggs *optional, more or less* boiled, after that break the shell and fry with little oil till some parts have brown color.
1 Pack of tofu, cut into square and fry till brown color.
Half pound of meat, slice into smaller square thin size.

Seasoning and how to make
10 red chili peppers
2 cloves of garlic
2 shallots
Ground them in Food processor and saute with 3 spoons of olive oil. Bring them till simmer smells good. Add 2 bay leaves. 1 tsp of salt. 1 tsp of sugar. Mix it well. Add the meat and cook till they are brown and tender. Pour little water so it's not too dry. Bring them to boil. Add the eggs and tofu. Serve with Jasmine rice.
