SAMBAL OELEK

Sambal Oelek image

Sambal is the generic name given to sauces in Indonesia, and this is the most basic. Nuts, coconut, dried shrimp, sugar, garlic, and other seasonings are often added before using this as a condiment for noodle, rice, and other dishes. If you want a really fiery sambal, leave in the chile seeds.

Yield makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup hot fresh chiles, preferably red, stemmed, seeded, and minced
6 garlic cloves, minced, optional
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

Steps:

Use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to blend the chiles, garlic, lime juice, salt, and sugar into a paste. Use a spatula to transfer the mixture to a container with a lid.
Stir in the lime zest; add more salt if you like. Serve or cover and refrigerate; this will keep for 2 to 3 weeks. (Bring back to room temperature before serving.)
