I love stir fried dishes, they are fast and quick and you can add on any of your favourite vegetables to soak up the different tastes. Here’s my favourite for now..

Sambal Balado or Sambalado is native to the Padang (Minang) cuisine in West Sumatra, which means “with chili”. Lado means chili in the Minang dialect. While typical sambal is usually served as a condiment on the side, Balado is usually cooked with other food to make for example Sambal Terong Balado (Eggplant Balado), Telur Balado (Egg Balado), Ayam Balado (Chicken Balado), Udang Balado (Shrimp Balado), Squid Balado (Cumi Balado), Dendeng Balado (usually made with Beef), Kentang Balado (Potato Balado), etc. **credits to http://www.whattocooktoday.com for this precise definition**
