Sambal is a versatile Southeast Asian chilli sauce used to season stir-fries, noodles, eggs, meat, seafood and vegetables. It is also enjoyed as a sweet, sour and spicy table condiment. This fresh version, prepared in a blender, accentuates the bright flavour of the chillies and can be prepared in 15 minutes or less.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend until it's all coarsely chopped.
Store in a clean and tightly covered container or jar in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
CHEF’s TIP

Chillies contain capsaicin which can burn your skin. After chopping chillies, wash hands and cutting board thoroughly with warm soapy water. Wear rubber gloves when handling the chillies.
