Sambal belacan recipe- How to make the best Malaysian sambal
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Sambal is the chili paste widely popular in Malaysia. We put sambal on top of nasi lemak, mee goreng, prawn mee, and stir dry a variety of spicy dishes.
Sambal is for everyone; therefore, I want to share the sambal recipe with you and make a bet that you will hook on it after the first bite.
You need a few specialty ingredients, but fortunately, they are available online and in most Asian grocery stores.
==================================
Recipe:
(Please refer to the blog post to download the recipe and access the full detail: tasteasianfood.com/sambal-bel... )
1 medium-size onion (about 200g)
5 cloves garlic
100ml (about 1/2 cup) vegetable oil
25g (1 oz) dried chilies
150g (5 oz) fresh red chilies
2 tbsp dried shrimp
1 tbsp belacan
1 tbsp palm sugar
1 tbsp tamarind juice
1 tsp salt
Method:
- Blend the onion and garlic with some oil with an electric blender. Add some water to facilitate blending if necessary.
- Boil the dried chili in water for ten minutes. Remove and drain.
- Cut fresh red chilies into sections. Blend both chilies with some oil and water to form a chili paste.
- Soak the dried shrimp in water for fifteen minutes. Drain. Blend the dried shrimp until it looks like meat floss.
- Place the belacan in a small pan without oil, roast it slowly until it is thoroughly dry, and break up into large granules.
- Saute the onion and garlic over low to medium heat until slightly brown and aromatic.
- Soak the tamarind pulp in hot water for ten minutes, then remove the pulp and seeds by pouring through a strainer.
- Add the dried shrimp, belacan, palm sugar chili paste, and tamarind juice to the sambal. Simmer over low heat for thirty minutes.
- Season with salt.
- When the red oil starts bubbling around the paste, it is done.

The Philippine version of Sambal (SAMBAL TAUSUG) is quite different as it uses wet shrimp paste and tomato.

Hello Chef, because I can’t eat too spicy food, I want to ask how spicy is this Sambal Belacan . Say it 1- 10, what number you would rate its spicy flavor? Thank you!
@TasteofAsianFood
3 жыл бұрын
I will rate it 7 to 8. You can remove all the seeds of the chili to reduce the hotness but still retain the flavor. The hotness should down substantially. I will give the seedless version a 3.
Hey there could you also share a vegetarian sambal belacan recipe if you have any?

You may modify this recipe by excluding the belacan and dried shrimp. Then slice half a medium-size onions and add to the sambal after the oil has separated. Cook further for ten minutes until the additional onion is no longer has a raw taste. It is my tasty vegetarian version.
Dear Kwan, tx for sharing your sambal recipe, I have question, why use dry chilly if we need to hydrates it? Why not use all fresh red chilly? Tx
@TasteofAsianFood

That is because dry chili has a different flavor from fresh chili. Similarly, sun-dried tomato tastes different from fresh tomatoes.

Hi chef, i followed your recipe for sambal belacan, the only issue is i used an induction stove. So everything went well but i ve cooked the sambal for 30 mins, n still didnt see separation of oil in the sambal. Bit my paste is already thickened. Does dat mean i have to cook longer?

I would suggest once it is cooked thoroughly should be OK. There is no need to wait until the oil separated.

@@TWEETYDOTPIE in the case of making sambal, it is essential to use that much oil for it to cook properly to achieve the desired taste. if eating healty is what you are into, you could filter out spoonfuls of the cooked oil by tossing them away. if insufficient oil is used, it wouldnt turn out right.
