    I made this last night to go with an Indonesian pork in coconut milk recipe. Absolutely delicious! Very spicy, but really fruity and cleansing.

  • Delicious sambal!...

    Submitted by Megsy13 on 18. February 2017 - 20:36.

    Delicious sambal!

    Mine was quite runny at the end of cooking, so I removed the MC and cooked another 10 minutes. It worked out perfectly!

    Its a lovely combination of flavours, and a hit with my chilli-loving husband. Thanks for sharing!

  • I have a lot of chillies in

    Submitted by stellwyck on 11. February 2016 - 22:37.

    I have a lot of chillies in my garden and would like to make this. How long do you think it would last in the fridge? 

    Would adding extra salt make it last longer/ be ok?

  • AMAZING! I subbed in long red

    Submitted by Jazwa on 26. June 2015 - 20:39.

    AMAZING! I subbed in long red chillies for half, because my poor little chilli bush didn't have enough birds eye, and I'm so glad I did.. this was hot, but not face-searing like some sambals. Also subbed coconut vinegar for rice wine vinegar, cos it was all I had! I'll never buy chilli sauce again ☺️

    Delicious, tangy and perfect with Hainanese Chicken Rice, Wontons, grilled fish etc! Next time I'll make double the quantity because this was devoured by the family!
