For some it could be a bowl of noodles, while for many others, it could be eggs. While the possibilities are endless, there is one common ingredient that binds everything together across Indonesia; sambal for that extra spicy kick.
Many spices are native to Indonesia, and with a lot of ingredients comes a lot of flavor. One iconic condiment that makes use of this bounty is sambal, a spicy sauce or paste produced from chili peppers and other ingredients. Here are 20 popular regional recipes.
With 322 variations of sambal (chili sauce) across the archipelago, it is no surprise that Indonesians love the heat. From Bali’s sambal matah to Manado’s sambal roa, each region has its own specialty, mixing in unique ingredients that truly makes the sambal stand out, whatever the dish it is paired with.
