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.

We Indonesians love our sambal. There are plenty varieties. Some a bit sour, some a bit bitter, some a bit sweet, but most Indonesians love spicy sambal. My partner and my kids love sambal, but we can't stand too spicy food. So I always remove the seeds from the chili. If you like spicier sambal, do not remove the seeds.Kecombrang or honje is also known as torch ginger. It is the young flower part. If you can't find it, you can replace it with a bit of mint. Kecombrang tastes a bit sour and minty. It also has a fragrant smell.

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

#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 🙏🏻😊😘
