Ingredients
- 6 fresh long red chilies (serrano chilies) - sliced
- 5 cloves garlic - peeled and chopped
- 4 shallots - sliced
- 1 tsp of grated fresh ginger
- 1 stalk lemongrass - thinly sliced white part only

- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 2 tbsp of lime juice

Instructions
- Pound or blend the chilies, garlic, shallots, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass, into a paste.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the paste.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Add sugar and salt. Stir it frequently until the mixture changes color and becomes very fragrant.
- Remove from heat and leave to cool. Before serving, add lime juice. Serve with chips or crunchy vegetables.
Notes
1. I used a mortar and pestle to pound the ingredients, so slicing them into smaller piece will help speed up the pounding process.
2. De-seed the chilies if you prefer a milder taste.
3. If you use a food processor to blend the ingredients, add a little water and oil if needed.
4. Store the leftover sambal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week (or in the freezer longer).
