This is a condiment that we always keep in the refrigerator at my house.Any remaining seeds will result in a poor texture, and will make the sambal very spicy. Be sure to carefully filter them out. Switching the food processor or blender on and off should help the ingredients blend more quickly.You can use the soaking water on the plants in your garden as an effective insect repellent.

As an Indonesian, we often eat with chili sambal. I like to make a lot of it in a batch, keep it in my fridge and eat it with anything (like fried chicken, fried fish), or use it as seasoning or enhance other food to make it spicy (like soup or fried rice).

This is a dish often found in Mayalsian homes.The sauce can splatter when you're sautéing it. I recommend you make this before you plan on cleaning your kitchen. Recipe by ichimai

This sambal tastes shrimpy for those who like seafood, it can be stored for a week or more in the fridge.

My Sis in Law taught me to make this sambal few years back, but i probably add few ingredients to complete the taste :D

Here it is the most famous Indonesian chili sauce “Sambal Trasi/Terasi”. Indonesia has various kinds of ‘sambal’ recipes which are served as hot and spicy condiments for dishes such as grilled chicken or fish, fried chicken or fish, fried ribs, and many others dishes. But I love this chili sauce the most. I guarantee you will also get addicted to it once you try it 😁 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

I travel to Bali often and enjoy the street food there. My Balinese friend makes a great sambal so I always ask her to make one which is very dry and very very hot which allows me to easily carry it home and add more ingredients and oil before canning it. So I do advise, this is not the original recipe for sambal, this explains what I do to it after I get it home.I like to roast/grill the peppers and take the skin off. The taste is really much better.Once you have finished extending your sambal (at step 7) you can put it in the fridge for immediate use or proceed to preserve it for storage as I did in this case.For canning: If your sambal has any low acid content ingredients it needs to be pressure canned. Otherwise boiling water bath will be ok.My next trip to Bali, my friend has promised to show me how to cook her sambal. I hope I can master this teriffic recipe and share with you. There are many other good similar recipes on this site for you to try. Just search for sambal.

#mycookbookThe fastest and easiest way to enjoy ‘tempe’ is season it with ground garlic, salt, white pepper powder, and a little water, deep fry the seasoned tempe until golden brown, and then eat it with Indonesian shrimp paste chili sauce.This recipe is basically the same but I added some fried anchovies and Thai basil leaves to add the flavor for the dish.If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

This spicy sauce tastes fresh, you can skip shrimp paste.

"Sweet and spicy with a hint of sour... Sambal Tumis is a chili paste that's also a bedrock of culture. It is Ground Zero and the starting point to understand all regional flavors.""Sambal Tumis can be broken down into a chili condiment (the 'Sambal' part) that is fried until fragrant (the 'Tumis' part)."Best eaten alongside a plate of aromatic coconut rice like Malaysian Nasi Lemak or with a good curried vegetable stew like Indonesian Sayur Lodeh.For this health-conscious version, we use mineral-rich date sugar and palm sugar in place of normal white sugar as the main sweetening agents. Antibacterial honey is also added as a mild preservative.

‘Sambal Goreng’ is a traditional Indonesian dish which is made from chili peppers cooked with some other ingredients such as potatoes, tempeh, tofu, eggplants, green beans, etc. It’s quite different from ‘Sambal’ which refers to Indonesian chili sauce/paste which typically is made from a mixture of chili peppers with secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, coconut sugar, lime juice, etc. and served as condiments. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and of course it’s spicy 🥵 Best served over warm white rice 🍚 By the way, you can always omit the ‘stinky beans’ part as they are really stinky. It may cause your breath to smell for a day or two 😁😅😂If you like my recipes, please follow me on my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel 🙏🏻😊😘
