Sambal Lotet (Sambal Udang Kering)


My MIL does not eat outside food. Whenever she travels out of spore, this sambal lotet will be her source of food. At times she also bring her rendang or sambal tumis goreng kering. This sambal can be used as a base for nasi goreng, mee goreng mamak or mee kuah or eaten with bread, white rice, etc.

Ingredients:
100 gm dried prawns
3 medium-sized onions
3 cloves garlic
40 dried chilli (boil to soften it)
1 tsp shrimp paste
Lime juice from 3 limes

Method:
1. Grind all the ingredients into fine paste, except the lime juice.
2. Heat oil and fry paste over medium fire.
3. Fry paste till fragrant and thicken. The paste must turn slightly dark (this process will take quite sometime).
4. Pour the lime juice and stir well.
5. Put salt to taste and aji-no-moto if preferred.
