Hot Soy Dip [Sambal Kicap pedas]

This dip, you can eat it with fried tofu, fried tempe, fried fish, crunchy fruits like apple, pear, guava, etc.


WARNING!!!: This dip has garlic in it, you might want to check your breath after eating it =)

ESSENTIAL TOOL: Mortar & pastel or rolling stone(batu giling wah,haha) This dip won't work if you don't use this tool unless you find an alternative, no, blender won't do it.



INGREDIENTS:

• Garlic ~ 3 cloves
• Thai/hot tiny chillies ~ 3 [Add more if you like it hot]
• Sugar ~5 tbsp
• Lime 3-5 [depends on how sour you want it to be]
• Sweet soy sauce [not the thick one, use the ight one]
  

DIRECTIONS:

1. Pound garlic & chilli using mortar & pastel until you get a fine texture.

2. Add in sugar & pound until the ingredients are well mixed.

3. Transfer the mixture into serving bowl.

4. Add in soy sauce twice the amount of your 1st mixture, or a little bit more.

5. Stir the mixture and you should get a thick texture. If it's not thick, it means you added too much of soy sauce, but it's ok, you can add a little bit more sugar or just leave it as it is. No harm.

6. Lastly, squeeze in lime juice as much as you need. Stir the mixture, taste and add any insufficient ingredients before serving. I like it sour & hot though. =)

P/S: Sorry, I forgot to take the picture of the final product, but I'm sure you'll know how it looks like.=)
