Mouthwatering Indonesian Traditional Green Chili Sauce from Padang. Authentic Recipe of Sambal Ijo.

Things to know about Sambal Ijo Recipe

This spicy green sauce from Padang is known nationwide as sambal ijo, which translates into a green spicy sauce. The locals have another name for this sauce, Lado Mudo, which in the local Minangkabau language meant young chili. This sauce is not as spicy as other sambal in Indonesia, because it uses young bird’s eye chili pepper which is green in color. The sambal ijo is often consumed as the trademark sauce for many Padangnese Cuisine, ranging from Rendang to Gulai. The young chili along with green tomatoes that are used in the dish provided a refreshing earthy flavor that is well complemented by the mild heat of the peppers. This is not a dipping sauce you would want to miss out on, especially for spicy food lovers!
