Balinese cusine II - Sambal Goreng for an extra kick!





Sambal is an essential part of every Balinese meal - it serves the same purpose as salt in a Western meal. Be careful when trying at home...it is spicy!

SAMBAL GORENG

Ingredients



10 shallots, finely sliced
8 garlic cloves, finely sliced
8-10 small chillies finely sliced
1/4 cup of oil (every oil will do, except olive oil)
1 tspn shrimp paste
3 red large chillies
1 teaspoon of sea salt

Mix the shrimp paste with the sea salt for easier cooking. Heat the oil slowly in a wok over a medium flame. Add the shallots and garlic. Fry, moving the ingredients back and forth continually until pale golden brown in color (about a minute). Add the chilli and shrimp pastemixed with salt. Fry about 20 seconds or until the chilli is cooked and seems bright and glossy. Strain. Transfer to a small boil and reserve the oil for further use (e.g. in a dressing, to fry shrimp, on a pizza etc.)




Try this recipe and kick it!
