Sambal Chilli

Recipe by Trish yee
No doubt, many local Singapore food can't go without sambal chilli. Singaporeans love our chilli! A good sambal can elevate a dish or be used as a master sauce in creating many more dishes. It is definately labor intensive as it requires long hours of cooking time over stove. But trust me, it is all worth the effort!
