Sambal Tumis, or Stir Fried Chilli Paste, is basically the cooked version of Dried Chilli Paste. A rich and complex chile paste that’s a mainstay of the Malay kitchen.
It’s essentially a condiment, a cooked chile paste that pairs well with every carb, from steamed tapioca to fried noodles to plain toast. It’s primarily made from ground chiles and onions, sometimes starring a supporting aromatic actor like ginger or pandan. Its simplicity is the main draw, though it can also be a base for various proteins: whole cleaned ikan bilis (dried anchovies), prawns, and squid are common additions.
The most basic route is large red onions, garlic, and dried chiles. This version is best paired with nasi lemak, or mopped up with toast. The not-so-secret ingredient is ikan bilis (dried Southeast Asian anchovies) which are finely ground and added at the tumis stage (when the paste begins to sauté, more on that below), which gives an unmistakable savoury punch that will keep you going back for more.
