‘Balado’ is an Indonesian stir-fry chili sauce dish. It’s originated from Minang cuisine of Sumatra island. The ingredients are similar to Indonesian ‘sambal’ (chili sauce). But unlike ‘sambal’ which is often treated as a separate dipping condiment, ‘balado’ chili sauce is usually mixed and stir fried together with its main ingredients and treated as a dish. (Source: Wikipedia) It’s one of the side dishes that I cooked together with my ‘yellow rice’ (check out my previous post). IG @jenscookingdiary

This is the simplest recipe I know. I learned from my mother, and when I don't know what to eat and I only have beef in my refrigerator, I think this recipe is perfect.

This is a favorite in our household.Step 1: Since you'll be adding the eggs later, adjust the dashi soup to 250 ml, the soy sauce to 1-2 tablespoons, and the sugar to 1-2 tablespoons. You can also use water + 2 teaspoons of instant dashi granules for the dashi stock. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Serves for 1-2 pax. Take note of not over-frying the beef, Javanese has a slight differ from Minang style, because the latter has a thick and crunchy kind of balado.

It's simple yet delicious recipe. Try it

This particular dish is a common one in the cheap street-side eateries around the Philippines. It is heavily Chinese-influenced from its use of spices. Pares (pa-RES) is the Filipino word meaning 'pair', and the dish got this name because it is typically served paired with garlic fried rice. 🇵🇭
