Cincalok Omelette Recipe
Different brands of cincalok (chinchalok/cencaluk) come in varying degrees of saltiness, so do adjust the amount used to taste accordingly.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 onion sliced thinly
- 1 finger-length red chilli deseeded; sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
(A) Seasonings
- 1 level tbsp cincalok to taste; may substitute with Filipino “Bagoong Alamang”
- 3 dashes white pepper powder
Serving and garnishing suggestions
- coriander
- 1 lime halved
- sambal belacan
Directions:
- Combine eggs and (A) in a small bowl; mix well.
- Heat oil in wide saucepan. Fry onions and chilli on a gentle flame until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Use a spatula to distribute the onions evenly in the saucepan. Give the egg mixture a few quick whisks with a fork and pour it over the onions. Gently tilt the saucepan to ensure all the onions are well coated in the egg. Cook a few minutes on one side until slightly browned, then flip to the other side and do the same.
- Use spatula to break the omelette to smaller pieces. Serve with lime, coriander and a spoonful of sambal belacan at the side.

I sometimes add krill (not cincalok) when I make omelette too! kekeke….am ok with creepy eyes…
It looks very appetizing!
This is so flavourful! Love cincalok.
May i know if the bottle needs to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes! you definitely need to.
My whole kitchen’s ceiling & walls were decorated with cincalok pieces & clumps because it exploded. After cleaning MANY TIMES (at least 4 times and subsequent less-serious type of cleanings) – the smell lingered about 2 weeks.
Recommend: when u buy back cincalok – transfer into big mouth container freeze it. When u wish to cook scrap off amt from the top of big mouthed container – so no explosive
