About
Cook, marinade, dip or spread! Amma’s Malaysian Sambal is a dedication to my Amma (mom) Siva and it highlights her love of bringing people together through food. This has been an evolving recipe of hers that I’ve grown up with and absolutely love. Sambal is a traditional chili sauce used across South East Asia and can commonly be found in Malaysia and Indonesia. When in Malaysia, no meal is complete without it, whether it be fried noodles (mee goreng), rice (nasi goreng), kari puffs, chicken satay, you name it! It’s a flavour bomb that is versatile as it is spicy and ours starts off with lemongrass and ginger notes, followed by umami goodness, and finishes with a lasting but pleasant kick of spice thanks to the thai chili peppers used.
