Sambal Dipping Sauces
Indonesians rarely eat a meal or even indulge in a savory snack without some type of
spicy chili paste (sambal) or sauce. From fiery Shrimp Paste Chili Sauce (Sambal
Terasi) to sweet and thick Sweet Soy Dip (Sambal Kecap Manis), this chapter
introduces Indonesia’s most popular condiments that are widely used for salads, main
dishes, and snacks. Though Indonesians typically prepare sambals and sauces using a
traditional stone mortar and pestle, these recipes include the quick and easy method of
using a food processor to create the same intense flavors.
