About Sambal

Sambal is a spicy condiment originating from Indonesia, widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine. It is typically made from a blend of chili peppers, garlic, shallots, vinegar, and salt, and may include other ingredients like tomatoes, lime juice, or shrimp paste for added flavor. Sambal is celebrated for its bold taste and ability to enhance a variety of dishes, from rice and noodles to grilled meats and vegetables. Nutritionally, sambal is low in calories and contains capsaicin, a compound found in chili peppers that has been linked to metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, its sodium content can be high, depending on the recipe. Moderation is key when incorporating sambal into meals, especially for individuals monitoring their salt intake. As a versatile and flavorful addition to many dishes, sambal remains a staple in countless kitchens worldwide.
