Spotlight on Spice Canrsquot Live Without Sambal

Southeast Asians canrsquot live without chili peppers

So it is unfathomable to imagine Southeast Asian cuisine before the 16th century when the chili pepper did not exis t outside

its native place in the Americas Most dishes in Asia at that time were probably spiced up with black amp white pepper

But 500 years ago when that first chili hit the shores of the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago (now Malaysia amp Indonesia) it

was thrown in every local dish and stayed there to t his day

blogseasonwithspicecom201111types-of-sambal-chili-recipeshtml

It didnrsquot take long for Malaysians and Indonesians to realize that they could eat even more of the spice if they pulverized the

chili pepper into a paste

Sambal was born

Sambal is basically a chili-based condiment or cooking ingredient But to limit it to a definition would not do it justice

Throughout the diverse region there are endless varieties of sambal with pounded chilies mixed with any combination of

spices and flavors

Some sambal can be fire on your tongue lessening the importance of any additional ingredients However most sambals

are moderately spicy allowing the mix of flavors to interact and complement the dish it is served with like many legendary

dishes in the region such as sambal stuffed fish sambal ikan bilis (anchovies) sambal prawns sambal asparagus

sambal kangkong sambal sotong (squid) sambal telur (eggs) sambal petai (stinky beans)

Sambal is also served as a dip for sweet potato chips prawn crackers or raw vegetables

Pepy Indonesia Eats bull

Cant agree more with this title That is right I cant live without sambal According Indonesian way

sambal should make fresh daily just like my family does However I dont have time to make sambal

everyday so I usually make it in a big batch and keep it in a jar for a month or so Whenever I need

sambal I can have it right away Whenever I want to make nasi goreng or other stir fry dishes I can

add a bit heat by adding sambal too )

Lazy version of me

Season with Spice bull M od 983102

I believe it was the same in Malaysia where families used to make fresh sambal everyday Butnow that there is refrigerator most people will just make a big batch and keep it for at least a

week or more Im impressed to hear that your family still makes sambal fresh these day

Oh yes add that heat of sambal to nasi goreng The nasi just taste even better

Jasmin bull

your standards )

Nami | Just One Cookbook bull

Japan is not that far from Southeast Asia yet we dont really have chili in our food I wonder why was

he chili expensive item back then I wonder why we never imported chili even China and Korea use

chili but we barely use chili in Japan Very strangeIve never actually spent time thinking about it and

now got me thinking I love your Sambal Matah photo so much Im currently looking for wood

platesbowls just like you are using Its hard to find them here so Im hoping I can score some in my

next Asia trip

Arudh iA box ofk it ch en bull

Nice Creepily speaking I can feel sambal flows in my vein p I rarely find shallots here (or never I

hink) so I use red onion or regular onion instead It seems like I started to forget how the fresh

shallots taste like but I still enjoy making sambal varieties with whatever ingredients I have here And

since fresh red chilies are not common here I use dried chillies cayenne and Korean chili flakes

(gochugaru) to compensate for the redness I still proudly call it sambal though D Anyway this postis incredible And I`m hungry again

Season with Spice bull M od 983102

Arudhi - not creepy at allI have sambal flows in my veins too) Itrsquos almost like an addiction You

wont believe that Mark has that too I think so long you can find the right substitutes you can

still whip up some good sambal Im sure you have come up with some interesting twist to the

ingredients you can find in Japan

Pepy Indonesia Eats bull

Cant agree more with this title That is right I cant live without sambal According Indonesian way

sambal should make fresh daily just like my family does However I dont have time to make sambal

everyday so I usually make it in a big batch and keep it in a jar for a month or so Whenever I need

sambal I can have it right away Whenever I want to make nasi goreng or other stir fry dishes I can

add a bit heat by adding sambal too )

Lazy version of me

I believe it was the same in Malaysia where families used to make fresh sambal everyday Butnow that there is refrigerator most people will just make a big batch and keep it for at least a

Oh yes add that heat of sambal to nasi goreng The nasi just taste even better

Japan is not that far from Southeast Asia yet we dont really have chili in our food I wonder why was

Nice Creepily speaking I can feel sambal flows in my vein p I rarely find shallots here (or never I

hink) so I use red onion or regular onion instead It seems like I started to forget how the fresh

shallots taste like but I still enjoy making sambal varieties with whatever ingredients I have here And

since fresh red chilies are not common here I use dried chillies cayenne and Korean chili flakes

(gochugaru) to compensate for the redness I still proudly call it sambal though D Anyway this postis incredible And I`m hungry again

Very good question Nami May be yoursquoll start a new trend in Japanese cuisine) The sambal

matah is from Ira of Cooking Tackle She sure does take gorgeous pictures Schedule your

Asia trip to Indonesia amp Thailand next they are best places to shop Some places in Malaysia

also offers a great deal of handicrafts too

Nice Creepily speaking I can feel sambal flows in my vein p I rarely find shallots here (or never I

hink) so I use red onion or regular onion instead It seems like I started to forget how the fresh

shallots taste like but I still enjoy making sambal varieties with whatever ingredients I have here And

since fresh red chilies are not common here I use dried chillies cayenne and Korean chili flakes

(gochugaru) to compensate for the redness I still proudly call it sambal though D Anyway this postis incredible And I`m hungry again

Arudhi - not creepy at allI have sambal flows in my veins too) Itrsquos almost like an addiction You

wont believe that Mark has that too I think so long you can find the right substitutes you can

still whip up some good sambal Im sure you have come up with some interesting twist to the

ingredients you can find in Japan

Sambal is definitely a great way to use your lime leaves If you still have leftover use the lime

leaves for tom yum curry or stir fry with seafood May be you can use them on your baking

recipes with an Asian twist)

I love sambal and found that the home made version was even better I agree that it is all about

blending your favourite ingredients together There are no right or wrong happy experimenting I

literally think of what I can eat or cook with the sambal I love chillies and another reason to grow them

Nami I think Japanese food is so fresh that it doesnt incorporate any spice or chillies

Season with Spice bull M od 983102

Great to know another sambal lover Dont we just love how we can create so many great

dishes with the endless varieties of sambal Truly a dynamic spice mix

Ive just found this blog wonderful We love sambal the wife being an Indo has led me down an

incredible culinary journey I need a recipe for manado though We make our own sambal trassi that

gets the kitchen humming Ill tell ya We recently got some sambal tempeh from Almere from a

relation its sweetish and compliments the bitterness tempeh can leave behind Can we hell as find

any tempeh in England We can buy the big jars of oelek from Chinese supermarkets but always buy

chillies when they are on offer in TescoMorrisons etc freeze them then when we have about a kilo

make our own sambals cheers
