28 April 2024

so today, i made the sambal chilli that goes with the ayam soto. it's in the recipe that nanik gave but i've not made it since she left...

 

so, today, i felt like having it again... but made some "adjustments" to the recipe LOL. the original was simply blended/ground fresh red chillis and garlic but i added tomatoes for my version and some green chillis that were lying around...

the "adjusted" chilli sambal turned out really nice!!

Recipe - Chili Sambal for the Ayam Soto (Indonesian)

1. grind/blend together:

(i blended these after i made the soto rempah)

- red chilli x6-7

- green chilli x4-5

- garlic x2-3

- tomatoes x2 - cut into cubes

- season with salt, light soya sauce and sugar

- add a bit of lime juice

2. fry the blended mix with oil and limau purut

3. add water or chicken stock or use stock cube, season to taste

4. cook the sambal till the chilli is soft

5. serve with ayam soto (see pics below)

i think i might use this sambal 

for sambal goreng or to fry petai!
