Balinese Fried Chilli (Sambal Embe Bali)

This kind of sambal is very popular in Bali, served as a condiment with Balinese suckling pig (babi guling) or Balinese mixed rice (nasi Campur Bali). It has a strong flavour and very spicy. A local man from Ubud taught me how to make this sambal. For this recipe i suggest to fry the shallots by yourself, you can use the fried shallots that available on the market but it won't taste the same.

Ingredients:
3 tbs coconut oil
4 shallots, thin sliced and fried
13 to 15 bird's eye chillies, sliced
1/2 tsp shrimp paste
Salt
  1. In a skillet preheat the coconut oil over medium heat, add the bird's eye chillies. Sauté for about 2 minutes and add the shrimp paste, stir it well and cook it for another 2 minutes or until fragrant and the chillies are slightly crisp.
  2. In a small bowl, add the fried shallots, fried chillies (with the excess coconut oil in the pan), and season it with salt. Stir until well combined.
