Indonesian Eggs Recipes

Indonesian cooking is rich and aromatic, building deep spice pastes that slow-cook into coconut-laced curries and sweet-savoury grilled dishes. When Indonesian cooks work with eggs, they reach for shallots, garlic, candlenut, lemongrass, kecap manis and sambal, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are frying, boiling, simmering and stir-frying.

The kitchen's great multitasker — binder, leavener, emulsifier and a fast meal in their own right. In this collection it's most often cooked with garlic, kecap manis, shallots, bean sprouts, coconut milk and garlic minced. The dishes here span indonesian classics ready in as little as 25 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
