Sambal Kicap Recipe (Spicy Soy Sauce)
Sambal kicap, a super simple spicy soy sauce mix that I have with rice, noodles and for dipping. Delicious even without the alliteration!
Equipment
- food chopper or mortar and pestle
Ingredients
- 2 red birds eye chillies
- 2 green birds eye chillies
- 1 small shallot or 1 spring onion (scallions)
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sweet soy sauce (kicap manis)
- 1 Tbsp lime juice about half a lime
Extras
- 1 stalk fresh coriander leaves finely chopped
- 2 slices cucumber chopped into tiny cubes
- 1 small tomato (or 2 cherry tomatoes) chopped into tiny pieces
Instructions
- We need to coarsely chop or pound the chillies, shallots and garlic. You can either use a knife and chopping board for this, pulse them in a food chopper about 5 times or mash them up with a pestle and mortar, as I do in the video.2 red birds eye chillies, 2 green birds eye chillies, 1 small shallot, 1 small clove garlic
- Tip them out into a small bowl.
- Pour over the soy sauces and fresh lime juice and stir to mix. Serve immediately or you can keep it for up to 6 hours in the fridge.2 Tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sweet soy sauce, 1 Tbsp lime juice
Notes
I've given the servings here as 2 or 2-3. This really depends on how much you love your soy sauce. I would happily have 3 - 4 Tbsp of this but you know that's a lot of salt right there.
A modest amount would be 1 Tbsp, along with the aromatics. If that is the case, the recipe will even serve 4.
