I learnt this recipe for sambal from my mother-in-law. My recipe is the same as hers, except she doesn't heat the terasi. This tastes different every time I make it, although I'm not sure why.

You can mix the sambal in a blender (with the oil from Step 5) or an earthen grinding bowl if you prefer. But a stone mortar is handy in Asian cuisine. This is in a recipe that goes well with "Tempeh Goreng", and "Tempeh Manis". Recipe by Mama fio
