How to Make Indonesian Sambal Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend at high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced by approximately half. The desired consistency should be thick and coating the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the sambal cool completely to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Transfer the sambal to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
