Auntie Tossy's Tahu Sambal

Caution: Taking photographs of yourself cooking is not a smart idea at all. Please do not try this stunt at home. I mean, try the recipe, just don't take self portraits...

Another favourite dish of mine would have to be my Aunty Tossy's Tahu Sambal. I never knew how easy it was to make this dish until today. If you like simple recipes, this is definitely one for you. Try it out and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.


I used about 6 cubes of tahu and sliced them into rectangles as shown above. Then pan fry them until they are slightly brown on both sides and keep aside.


Soak a handful of udang kering (dried prawns) in a bowl of water for about 20 minutes. This reconstitues the prawns and makes it soft. Blend the udang kering and a clove of garlic in a food processor. Heat some oil in a pan and saute the dried prawns and garlic until it's wangi (fragrant).


Add in 2 teaspoons of chili powder (you can add more if you like it spicier) and about half a cup of water and let the mixture simmer.


Add in some tomato sauce to create a sweet and sour taste and throw in the tahu you fried earlier. Simmer for a short while more and your sambal is done!


Here it is...Aunty Tossy's Tahu Sambal. Just the way I like it...
