About Anchovies in sambal

Anchovies in Sambal is a flavorful dish rooted in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Malaysia and Indonesia. It features small, dried anchovies stir-fried with sambal, a chili-based condiment made from red chilies, garlic, shallots, sugar, and sometimes lime juice or tamarind for added tang. This dish offers a punch of umami and spice, making it a staple side in rice-based meals like Nasi Lemak. Anchovies are rich in protein, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting bone health and heart health. However, due to the drying process, they can be high in sodium, which may not be ideal for those monitoring their salt intake. Sambal adds antioxidants from chili peppers but often incorporates sugar and oil, making moderation key. Anchovies in Sambal is a tasty balance of spice and nutrition, perfect for enhancing a wholesome meal in small portions.
