Mum’s Recipe Rojak Sauce - MY Delivery

Rojak (in Malay language means mixed) is a salad dish commonly sold in many restaurants and stalls in Malaysia  There are many variants but the most popular is a salad composed of a mixture of sliced fruits and vegetables served with a spicy sugar dressing. It is often described as sweet and spicy fruit salad due to its sweet, hot and spicy dressing made from ground chilli, sugar, salt, soy sauce and peanuts

The mark of a good rojak is its sauce. It is made up of sugar and freshly pounded chilli paste. It must be an appetising mix of sweet and spicy. The sauce is traditionally mixed in a large wooden bowl with a wooden spoon. Only when the sauce is complete, are the ingredients added and thoroughly mixed.

Method:

• Place all the diced fruits in a big container.

• Plate it up and serve. Enjoy !

Avoid using fruits with high water content as the rojak would turn mushy.
