Sambal bawang is a popular Indonesian chili sauce known for its simple ingredients and preparation, yet it delivers a rich, appetite-whetting flavor. As its name suggests, shallots (bawang merah) and chilies are the stars of this sambal.



Key Characteristics



 * Flavor: Sambal bawang is characterized by a strong spicy kick (which varies depending on the type and quantity of chilies used) combined with the distinctive savory taste of fragrant, sautéed shallots. You might also find a hint of sweetness or a light sour note from added sugar or lime juice.



 * Aroma: The dominant aroma is that of fragrant fried shallots, intermingling with the characteristic pungency of chilies.



 * Texture: The texture of sambal bawang typically ranges from coarse to "chunky," with visible or palpable pieces of chili and shallot rather than a smooth puree. This provides a pleasant bite when eaten.



 * Color: It generally has a deep red to reddish-brown hue, influenced by the type of chilies and the duration of the sautéing process.



 * Main Ingredients: The core ingredients are bird's eye chilies (cabai rawit) or red curly chilies (cabai merah keriting), shallots, garlic (optional, for added depth), salt, sugar, and cooking oil. Sometimes, a touch of terasi (shrimp paste) is added for a more complex aroma, or a squeeze of lime juice for freshness.



Preparation Process



The chilies and shallots are typically ground coarsely or briefly blended (not too fine). This mixture is then sautéed in hot oil until cooked through, fragrant, and the seasonings are fully absorbed. This sautéing process not only cooks the ingredients but also extracts the natural oils from the chilies and shallots, which helps preserve the sambal.



Serving Suggestions



Sambal bawang is a versatile condiment that pairs well with almost any Indonesian dish. It's incredibly delicious when served as:



 * Rice Accompaniment: Directly mixed with warm rice.



 * Side Dish Enhancer: Perfect with fried chicken, fried fish, omelets, fried tempeh, fried tofu, or various "penyetan" dishes (dishes that are "smashed" with sambal).



 * Dipping Sauce: Excellent as a dipping sauce for various fried snacks.



 * Flavor Base: It can also be used as a base seasoning for stir-fries or other dishes that need a spicy and savory kick.



Sambal bawang offers a delightful combination of appetite-stimulating spiciness and savory shallot deliciousness, making it a favorite for many as an everyday.
