Selamat sore or good evening!
When I was working in the hotel industry long time ago, I had many friends from different country working at the same department with me. I had one Indonesian friend who taught me how to make Indonesian style sambal. Sambal is a spicy chilli paste made with assorted chilli, shallot, garlic, prawn paste and salt and sugar. Sambal is popular in Indonesia and Malaysia. We eat sambal with the main meal as a side dishes and some people could eat sambal all the time and without sambal on the side, the meal seems not complete.
There are many types of sambals with slightly different ingredients but this is my most favourite sambal recipe and also favourite to my family and I made it every time we had a family gathering.
INDONESIAN SAMBAL
Ingredients;
2 tomatoes, cut into small pieces
4 big red chilli, sliced
4-5 small chilli, sliced
3-4 shallots, sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/2 teaspoon prawn paste
Salt and sugar to taste
Oil
METHOD;
- Heat up about 1/4 cup oil in a medium saucepan.
- Add all ingredients except salt and sugar, cook for 5-10 minutes or until the chilies and tomatoes are soften.
- Remove from heat, season with salt and sugar.
- Blend or pound everything into fine or coarse paste, I prefer my sambal a bit coarse and wetter.
- This sambal goes well with rice and any fried food!
Bon appétit!
