DIRECTIONS Mix the pounded ingredients with the chilli paste and salt. I like my sambal udang (prawn sambal) really simple, with plenty of shrimps and the right balance of spicy, sour, salty, and a tint of sweetness from the freshness of shrimps/prawns. Sambal udang is great with steamed white rice. In fact, the sambal sauce is so good that I can drench dollops of it with rice and eat it plain.

Blend softened dried chillies with the rest of the ingredients in B.
