How Indonesian cuisine cooks with eggs
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, soy sauce, shallots, scallions and garlic minced. The dishes here span indonesian classics ready in as little as 30 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

Choosing & preparing eggs
How to choose
Fresher eggs sit flat with a domed yolk and sink in water; older ones float. Pasture-raised eggs tend to have deeper-coloured, richer yolks.
Prep & storage
Room-temperature eggs whip to greater volume and are less likely to crack when boiled. Crack into a separate bowl first to catch shell and check freshness.
When is it done?
Soft-boiled: 6 minutes; jammy: 7–8; hard: 10–12. Scrambled eggs are best pulled off the heat while still slightly wet — they keep cooking.
Nutrition
A complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, plus choline, vitamin D and lutein — mostly in the yolk.
Classic flavour partners: butter, chives, cheese, tomatoes, spinach, black pepper
