👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Peel the green mango and coarsely grate it using a cheese grater, or slice it into thin, long strips. Set aside.
- 2 Wash the bird's eye chilies, curly red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato thoroughly.
- 3 Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the whole shallots and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 4 Add the bird's eye chilies, curly red chilies, and tomato, sautéing together with the shallots and garlic until everything is softened and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
- 5 Coarsely grind all the sautéed ingredients using a mortar and pestle—don't grind it too fine, so the texture still has some bite.
- 6 Transfer the ground sambal to a bowl, then add the grated green mango, sweet soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- 7 Finally, add the lime juice for extra freshness, and stir again until everything is perfectly combined.
- 8 Taste and adjust the sweet-salty-spicy balance to your liking. The sambal is ready to serve as a side for fried snacks, grilled fish, or fried chicken.
💡 Tips
• Choose young mango that's still firm and sour for the best results; avoid mango that has started to ripen.
• Don't grind the sambal too finely—a slightly coarse texture actually makes this sambal more enjoyable to eat.
• If you like extra spice, add whole thinly sliced green bird's eye chilies without grinding them in.
• This sambal tastes best enjoyed fresh on the same day, since the green mango can release water if left sitting too long.
