How to Make Rojak Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon shrimp paste (belacan), 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the sauce slightly thickens (about 10-12 minutes). Be careful not to burn the sauce.
  3. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld.
  4. Once cooled, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, lime juice for tanginess, or fish sauce/shrimp paste for saltiness.
  5. Pour the sauce over your favorite Rojak ingredients and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
