Daging Balada

This dish has been re-created in many ways over time and in various countries throughout South East Asia, creating a few differences in taste, texture, and even spelling. But one thing they all share is the use of chillies and fried beef, because depending on how long you fry it, the crispier it’ll become! So Sedap, this recipe is a must-try dish.
