Shrimp and Quail Eggs Sambal

Hi bloggers and food lovers! Today I’m going to share what I had for lunch. It’s a classic Indonesian dish: sambal (chili sauce). I absolutely love sambal. I made fried shrimp and quail eggs with sambal. It’s pretty easy to make and goes perfectly with warm rice. Alright, let’s get started.

Ingredients:

• 30 quail eggs
• 300 grams of shrimp
• 200 grams of red chili peppers
• 6 bird’s eye chili peppers
• 8 cloves of shallots
• 1/2 tamarind
• sugar
• salt
• 70 ml vegetable oil

Steps:

• Clean the quail eggs, then boil them for 10 minutes after the water comes to a boil

• While boiling the eggs, peel the shrimp and briefly cook them in preheated oil in a pan

• Remove and drain

• Once the eggs are cooked, let them cool and peel them

• Fry the peeled quail eggs in the oil previously used to fry the shrimp

• Remove and drain

• Prepare the red chili peppers, bird’s eye chili peppers, and peeled shallots

• Blend them using a blender with a little water

• Add to the oil in the pan

• Add tamarind and water solution

• Stir until the chilies are cooked

• Add salt and sugar to taste

• Add the quail eggs and shrimp to the chili sauce

• Stir until well combined
