Ready - To - Eat

Our Bawang Sambal is an all-purpose condiment that you can toss on literally any type of authentic Malaysia dish. Made up of a special blend of chilli peppers, palm sugar, shrimp paste and authentic Thai sauce, our sambal is cooked under low heat with a unique simmering process that’ll give off a homemade taste you can never get enough of. The result? An authentically grandma’s recipe Sambal that you can conveniently bring along with you anywhere you go. This versatile condiment can be served together with almost any Malaysian cuisine you can think of which includes Nasi Lemak, Fried Mee Hoon or Kuey Teow, and even Fried Rice.

READY - TO - COOK

Bawang Sambal can also be substituted as a dipping sauce (our fav is to pair it with fried chicken wings!) or on days where you feel ambitious and would like to cook, it can be used as a base for your homemade Nasi Goreng, stir-fried prawns, fried chicken or fish and even when frying vegetables like eggplants. To preserve its unique taste, do heat up our sambal and simmer with sliced or diced onions before serving.
