Homemade Sambal

Sambal is a sauce or condiment typically made from chili peppers and combined with secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, garlic, ginger, scallion, sugar, and vinegar. Tamarind can also be seen commonly added to sambal to make variations on the condiment. I wanted to keep it simple and prepare a very easy sambal that you can make at home but also re-create an authentic and real taste.

This makes about 10 tbsp. of Sambal. Each tablespoon comes out to be 35.76 Calories, 3.1g Fats, 1.68g Net Carbs, and 0.37g Protein.

The Preparation

• 1 large onion
• 0.35 ounces dried birds eye chilis
• 3 tablespoons reduced sugar ketchup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• Optional: 1-2 drops liquid sucralose

The Execution

1. Chop onion and blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cut dried chilis and remove seeds. Boil them for about 30 minutes or until soft. Once soft and cooled, blend to a paste.
3. In a heated pan, melt coconut oil. Once hot, add in all of the ingredients. Optional: add in 1-2 drops Liquid Sucralose.
