‘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
