    Indonesia's fire paste – sweet, spicy, irresistible

    This Indonesian sambal is more than just a hot sauce—it's a pure flavor explosion! The perfect balance of sweet, hot, and spicy notes makes this chili paste a universal flavor booster. Shallots, garlic, and ginger form the aromatic base, while the chilies provide the necessary heat. The long simmering develops a complex, caramelly depth that enhances any dish. As a dip, marinade, or seasoning paste for curries and stir-fries, this sambal is a true all-rounder. Keeping for up to four weeks, it transforms any kitchen into an Indonesian spice kitchen. Once you make it yourself, you'll never want store-bought sambal again!
