Indonesian Sambal Stirfry

Sambal is a beautiful sauce of spicy and sweet flavours. I first tried this at university when a friend made it and absolutely loved the flavours, I can still taste it is was so delicious.

So here I am waiting for another lockdown to finally come to an end and just had to give this recipe a try. It did not disappoint.

Made from primarily dried red chillies, it has a kick that is out of this world, having said that, the balance from kaffir leaves and ginger sweetens up any harsh tones.

Sambal sauce can be added to so many various dishes and I decided to add it my go stir fry.

Give it a try and keep an eye out for my sambal flavoured recipes coming soon.
