Nasi Lemak Sambal

I did a Nasi Lemak cake some months back but I wanted to try another Nasi Lemak Sambal and so my dear friend AK shared one.

Thanks AK for this nice recipe.  My guests did enjoy it.

Learning experience: 

Am happy how this turned out.  The spiciness is just right and so was the sweetness. 

Heard that my BIL was enjoying this a lot too.

What you need:

15g dried chillies, deseed and cut into pieces

100g shallots, sliced

5g belachan, lightly toast

100ml water

*1 tsp tamarind paste

*¼ cup water > extract juice

5 tbsp oil

100g onion, sliced

Salt and sugar to taste

Method:

Rinse the dried chillies and boil to soften.  Drain.

In a blender, combine chillies, shallots, belachan and water and blitz until fine paste.

Heat oil in a wok and add the chilli paste and fry over low heat, stirring constantly until a layer of oil formed and paste turned dark.

Add in the sliced onion and continue to cook until it softens.

Season with salt, sugar and tamarind juice.

Remove from heat and let it cool completely before serving.

Enjoy!
