Balado is a type of food that comes from Indonesia. It's usually made with really yummy things like chili peppers, tomatoes, and spices that are all mixed together to make a sauce.
To create a balado sauce, grown-ups usually start by chopping up a bunch of chili peppers (which are very spicy) and mixing them with fresh tomatoes that have been mashed up. Then they add some sweet things like onions, garlic, and sugar before stirring in some salt and pepper for flavor. Finally, they cook the sauce over heat until it becomes nice and thick.
Balado sauce can be eaten with all sorts of things like rice, chicken, or shrimp, and it adds a delicious spicy flavor to everything it's paired with.
Just be careful if you try balado sauce because it's very hot and spicy, so you might need to drink some cold water to cool off your tongue!
