What do you use the SkinnyAsia Sambal Sauce for?
In the cookbook this delicious cooked Sambal adds extra flavour to the Mi Goreng, Tom Yum Soup and is the perfect condiment to serve with the Char Kway Teow, Pad Thai, Hainanese Chicken Rice & Vietnamese Pho.
If you don’t have time to make the this Sambal, you can use our Basic Sambal Oelek or purchase a jar of Sambal Oelek from any major supermarket – although it won’t be the same!
What is Sambal?
Sambal is a spicy chilli chutney like sauce. This healthy Thermomix recipe uses fresh large red chillies (cayenne chillies) available at the supermarket in the fruit and vegetable section. This recipe is for a cooked Sambal Masak.
If you are worried about it being too spicy for kids, you can also replace some of the chillies with fresh sweet chilli peppers or red capsicum.
You only use a small amount in recipes, so if you are sensitive to spice it is easy to control the heat.
