Fried Shrimp Paste Sambal
Attention: HOT & SPICY!! This relish is made for Chilli Fans who are keen of spicy Indonesian Sambal & doesn't bother with the smell of dried shrimp paste or Terasi ;-). This is one of my favorite sambal among others. Serve with fried tempe, tahu or fried chicken, sliced cucumber or any vegetable salad that you have in a fridge …hmm what an delicious temptation ha ha…Last but not least, thx & credits goes to Eka Dianawati who introduced this delicious sambal many years ago.
Instructions
- Heat 3 tbsp oil in a wok or saucepan over medium heat.
- Fry chillies, shallot, garlic & tomato till just soften. (Do not fry the chillies too long otherwise they will be too hard to grind).
- Transfer all fried ingredients onto grinding stone (or mortar & pestle) and grind until smooth.
- Add the dried shrimp paste, pound it together to mix. Add salt & sugar to taste. Stir to mix
- Serve right away with rice, bruised "Fried Tempeh" and raw vegetables/lettuce.
