Serious Mealtimes / Michelle Yip
There are hundreds of versions of sambal in Southeast Asia. The chili pepper paste is flavored with different aromas depending on the type and can be served cooked or raw. The word "sambal" itself is of Javanese origin; it was borrowed by Indonesians in general and brought to Malaysia long before the complicated borders of Southeast Asia existed. There are hundreds of versions of sambal in the region with sambal oelek from Indonesia being the most popular version available in the West.
