Sambal Jawa

Since i've started my study, i kinda loose my passion in cooking. I still cook as i have to but i will make only one dish and the one that can be prepared as fast as i can now. So no more nasi lemak, nasi ayam, nasi tomato, nasi minyak/beriyani, lasgna etc. To name a few ;) nway pity my kids. Me sad too. Tak boleh kalau tak makan nasi. :'(

Anyhoo, last weekend, first time i had made sambal jawa! Co incidently, i'd made some amount of chilli paste to keep in stock on saturday, then was when the idea popped up to make sambal jawa! :D

So here the recipe of Sambal Jawa that i'm happy to share with ;)

The ingredients:

Marinated Tempe (soy cake)
Anchovies
Vermicelli (su'un)
Big/indian onion
Red/green chilli
Vegetable oil
Chilli paste
Tamarind water
Brown sugar
Salt

Steps:

1. Fry the marinated soy cake and anchovies separately till it become crispy.

2. In a pan, heat the vege oil and pour the chilli paste. Cook it until the oil comes out. Also pour some amount of tamarind water. Then stir until the colour of chilli change from bright red to darker red. Sprinkle some sugar and salt up to your liking too.

3. Simply mix the fried tempe and anchovies and su'un into it. Lastly spread the chopped onion n red n green chilli too.

P.S My daughter loves to eat tempe this way. If i just make it fried, she will not eat it. Hehe.
