You won’t believe how quickly we got this cooked! From prep to finish, all under 15 mins.
This recipe is hot and spicy, great for the chilli-lovers. A little twist to the regular sambal sotong from the hawker centre bbq stalls, this sambal sotong balances the chillis’ heat and pungent flavours of belachan with sweet onions and coconut milk.
A must-try!
