Recipes Breakfast and Brunch Eggs Telur Balado (Spicy Chile Sauce with Eggs) 4.4 (5) 4 Reviews 4 Photos Originated from North Sumatra (Padang or Minang), this humble dish can be easily bought from many street vendors (warung nasi). When I studied abroad, I found a shortcut to make this lovely dish. Serve with hot, steamed rice or Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng) with prawn crackers on the side.
