Transform your everyday eggs into a flavorful Indonesian-inspired delight with this Low Sodium Telur Ceplok recipe. Perfectly fried eggs with runny yolks are topped with a fragrant sauce made from low sodium soy sauce, sautéed shallots, garlic, and a dash of fresh lime juice. This low-sodium twist on a classic dish keeps the bold umami flavors intact while catering to your health-conscious needs. Optional red chili adds a hint of heat, and a garnish of cilantro or parsley elevates the presentation. Ready in just 15 minutes, this quick and easy recipe pairs wonderfully with steamed rice for a satisfying meal.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully crack one egg into a bowl, ensuring the yolk remains intact, and slide the egg into the hot pan. Repeat for the second egg.
Fry the eggs until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny (or to your preferred doneness), about 2-3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low, and into the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Add the sliced shallot and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Optional: Stir in the sliced red chili for a bit of heat, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and ground black pepper to the pan, stirring to combine. Let the sauce gently simmer for 1 minute to meld the flavors.
Pour the aromatic sauce mixture over the fried eggs.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with steamed rice for a complete meal.
