Sambol Goreng Recipes

BAMI GORENG

Steps:

• For the ketjap sambal: Heat the canola oil in a small saucepot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and sauté until fragrant but not yet browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, tamari, five-spice powder and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the bami goreng: Heat the canola oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over high heat. Add the red onion, garlic and ginger and cook until softened. Add the red pepper. Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with salt and add it to the pan; cook until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Add the cabbage, stir in the sambal oelek, and then deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup water. Cook 2 for 3 minutes, until the water is evaporated. Finally, add in the cooked spaghetti and half of the ketjap sambal.
• Transfer the bami goreng to a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining ketjap. Add a squeeze of lime and garnish with cilantro. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
