Sambal Mangga (Mango in Spicy Dressing)

                                                                                 

Sambal mangga served with shredded salted fish,
deep fried tempeh, and steamed rice

I love sambal mangga. This is the food that I grow up with. In Java, sambal mangga is also called sambal pencit. Perhaps, the way I make is different from how it is prepared in Java. However, I guarantee that you will love this one.

Ingredients:

- 1 manggo, peeled and shredded.

- 1 tsp terasi (roasted shrimp paste)

- 2 Thai chile peppers

- 1 tbsp sugar

- 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

- Use stone mortar and pestle to crush and mix terasi, peppers, sugar, and salt.

- Taste the paste mixture. Add salt and sugar if needed.

- Combine the shredded mango with the paste. Mix well. Do NOT add water to the paste.

- Serve with warm steamed rice.
