You had me at Sambal

We Malaysians grew up with sambal. It’s one of those things that makes us Malaysian. This humble spicy chilli-based sauce is a must-have secret ingredient because it just takes any seafood to a whole new taste level. It didn’t matter if you grilled, stir-fried, steamed or baked it… you’ll keep coming back for more. So many delicious local dishes owe it to sambal for lending them a distinctive flavour. Think Sambal Udang (Sambal Prawn), BBQ Fish with Sambal Sauce, or Sambal Seafood Fried Rice.

Opening a KampongKu Sambal Seafood Paste packet reveals a special ingredient not found in many cooking pastes: whole curry leaves. These flavour-enhancing herbs are added to our cooking paste because they impart a distinctive fragrance with their citrusy, aromatic notes.
