How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Pour the oil into a deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat the oil until it reaches a temperature of 375 on a deep-frying thermometer.
|
2. Deep-fry the eggs, gently turning them over 2 or 3 times with a slotted spoon, for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. As they brown, transfer the eggs to paper towels to drain.
|
3. When they are cool enough to handle, slice the eggs in half lengthwise, arrange them cut side down in a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet and drape the pepper strips over them.
|
4. Stir the cumin into the sambelan and spoon the mixture evenly over and around the eggs. Cook over low heat for 1 or 2 minutes until the eggs and sauce are heated through.
|
5. Serve at once, directly from the skillet or a large heated platter. Sambelan telor may be served with boiled rice as a luncheon dish, although it is usually served as one of several side dishes of a traditional Indonesian meal.
