About Steamed okra with sambal

Steamed Okra with Sambal is a vibrant Southeast Asian dish combining tender, nutrient-rich okra with a fiery chili-based condiment known as sambal. A staple in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine, sambal is made from a blend of fresh chilies, garlic, shallots, lime juice, and sometimes shrimp paste, delivering a bold and complex flavor profile. Steaming the okra preserves its natural nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, and folate, making it a healthy choice for digestion and immunity support. The dish is low in calories and fats, making it ideal for weight management, while its high antioxidant content helps combat inflammation. However, the sodium content in sambal may be a concern if consumed in excess. Perfect as a side dish or light appetizer, Steamed Okra with Sambal marries wholesome ingredients with the spicy allure of Southeast Asian flavors.
