How to Make Homemade Sambal Oelek
- Combine the chilies, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle.
- Process until finely chopped, gradually adding the vinegar until a smooth paste forms. If using a mortar and pestle, grind until a smooth paste is achieved, adding vinegar as needed.
- Transfer the chili paste to a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
- Stir in the salt and lime zest.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to sterilized jars or containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
