【印尼红辣酱蘸茄子】Terung Belado/Balado

这款印尼红辣酱用处非常多，可以拿来做菜调味，也可以作为蘸酱吃。我最喜欢的吃法是蘸烤茄子或煎/煮鸡蛋，非常下饭好吃。

辣酱的做法不复杂，比较麻烦的是找到新鲜的红辣椒，所以每次只要看见红美人椒我都会买一包回来做这个辣椒酱，做好的辣酱可以冷藏好几周。

Sambal Balado is a very versatile chili paste from Indonesia/Malaysia, it can be used as seasoning in many dishes and is a very good condiment for many recipes. My personal favorite ways to serve this chili paste is with grilled egg plant, fried/boiled eggs. All serves really well as side dish to some hot steamed rice.

It is fairly easy to make at home and could be stored in refrigerator for weeks to come.
