Basic Sambal

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 10 red chillies cut into 1 inch, dry or fresh, it doesn't matter to me
  • 1 big onion cut into 2cm pieces
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 5 candlenuts or 10 almond nuts
  • 1 Tbsp belachan
  • 1 thumb size ginger sliced
  • 1/4 cup of oil

Instructions
 

  • Blend everything except the oil.
  • Heat a pan with the oil till hot.
  • Add the paste, and lower the heat to medium.
  • Keep stirring so that it doesn't burn.
  • When the oil turns red, it means you are done! I like mine cooked a bit darker.
