About Anchovy sambal

Anchovy Sambal is a flavorful condiment popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Indonesian and Malaysian dishes. This spicy relish combines crispy dried anchovies, fiery chili peppers, shallots, garlic, and tamarind, sautéed in oil to create a bold, savory, and slightly tangy profile. While it is prized for its intense taste and versatility as a side dish or topping, it is also rich in nutrients. Anchovies provide a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium and iron. However, its high sodium content from both the anchovies and added seasonings can be a dietary concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Additionally, the use of oil in preparation increases its fat content. Moderation is key to enjoying Anchovy Sambal as part of a balanced diet. It pairs wonderfully with rice, vegetables, or traditional dishes like nasi lemak or fried noodles.
