Hi all of you, welcome back to Ichi's Fusion Recipes! Like I mentioned in my article before that my next article on this blog is how to make multipurpose fresh homemade seasoning and sauce. So, today, I am gonna share it and show you how easy to make them.

First of all, why I call it multipurpose? Well, we can use it as a seasoning to make some dishes for instance to cook a chicken or even vegetables. The interesting thing about it is that using it as sauce or condiment.

Back then in my hometown, most villagers liked to make condiments and we called it "sambal" which is made from chili, garlic, shallots, tomato, shrimp paste, salt, and sugar. Usually, they ate it with white rice and fried tempeh. As you know Indonesian love "sambal" which has always picture as a spicy sauce. However, my stomach easily gets upset when I eat spicy foods. Villagers in my hometown grew chili plants and tomato plants in their garden and yards. I think every household had it. So, basically, they only bought some other ingredients in the shop nearby such as garlic, and shallots. 

Based on the experience when I lived in my hometown, I create "sambal" in my style which means some ingredients adapt to the place where I stay today. So, let's check it out!

What do you think? I think it sounds great because we use it as sauce then eat this with white rice and fried tempeh. Another purpose we can add it as a seasoning to cook chicken, fish, tempeh, tofu, and vegetables as well.

I use yellow onion because it has a sweet taste and added many cherry tomatoes to reduce the spicy taste. The second recipe is spicy for me, however, I can still stand for it. Meanwhile, the first recipe is not that spicy even though the color is red because of the sweet taste of cherry tomatoes and yellow onion. If you want to reduce the spicy taste then a solution is to add more cherry tomatoes.

Thank you for reading my article today, have a nice weekend, and stay safe wherever you are! Bye! 🖐🙂
