Gather @egg{8} and @dried red chili{6}.

Pat the boiled, peeled eggs completely dry with a towel.

Heat oil in a wok and fry the eggs, turning occasionally, until deeply golden and blistered all over, about 5 minutes; lift out and set aside. ~{5%minutes}

Blend the soaked chilies, @shallot{4}, @garlic{3%clove} and @tomato{2} into a smooth paste.

Fry the paste in the same wok over medium heat, stirring often, until it darkens and smells fully cooked rather than raw.

Add the @coconut milk{100%ml} and @brown sugar{1%tsp}, stir well, and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and turns a deep red, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Roll the fried eggs through the sauce until fully coated and glossy.

Serve hot, spooning any extra sauce over the eggs — sambal goreng telur is rich enough to be the whole meal.
