Sambal Chilli Recipe 参巴辣椒酱

Sambal Chilli Recipe 参巴辣椒酱

Here's a rendition of my family's favourite sambal chilli. It's spicy and full of aromatic flavours. We love to eat it with noodles, nasi lemak (coconut rice), stir fry meat or vegetables, and just almost everything and anything. This condiment is a must-have in Southeast Asian cuisine, no meal is considered complete without the sambal chilli.
