Fried Chilli Seasoning
INGREDIENTS :
10 shallots, finely sliced 1 tspn. shrimp paste
8 garlic cloves, finely sliced 3 red large chilli
8-10 small chillies finely sliced 1 tspn. sea salt
¼ cup oil
Sambal is an essential part of every Balinese meal. Loaded with chilli and bursting with flavour, it serves the same purpose as salt in a western meal. This is a sambal that can be served alongside any Asian-style meal. Many of favourite dishes are also created around this powerful seasoning.
Mix the shrimp paste with 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 colour. This should take about a minute. Add the chilli and shrimp paste mixed with salt.
Fry about 20 seconds or until the chilli is cooked and seems bright and glossy. Strain. Transfer to a small bowl, and reserve the oil for further use.
· Sambal is a seasoning to be eaten in small quantities only.
Note : 2-3 tbspns. of crunchy, fried onion can be added to the sambal as an alternative to frying the onion.
