Things to know about Sambal Teri Recipe

Indonesians are quite popular worldwide for their spicy cuisine. One type of condiment, in particular, stands out from the others. Sambal is an Indonesian chili sauce, usually consisting of chili peppers (Cabai Rawit/Bird’s Eye chili pepper), oils, and other regional ingredients. Sambal is arguably the most variational Indonesian traditional food in existence, with every region in Indonesia having its variant of Sambal.

Historically, the sambal was invented during the colonization of Indonesia, during which it was not as popular as it is today. The exact origin of sambal is unknown, but it was due to the Portuguese and Dutch bringing the plant to Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) that sambal really started to grow and spread throughout the country.

Teri or anchovy is one of the main fish consumed in Indonesia. Due to its abundance, many variants of anchovy dishes are available. This sambal teri is commonly found in Java as a companion for white rice and other types of protein. The flavor profile of this sambal leans more toward the savory-spicy side of things, with the umami from the anchovies and the spiciness of the sambal. Different kinds of anchovies can be used in this dish, but the most used are the Teri Nasi, smaller species of anchovies that are as small as a grain of rice. This sambal is the best for those who want to enjoy their meal!
