Q & A

What is Kecombrang Sambal and how does it enhance the dish?

Kecombrang Sambal is a spicy, aromatic condiment made with ingredients like garlic, shallots, chili, shrimp paste, and kecombrang (a flower with a floral, fruity aroma and tart flavor). It adds a complex, tangy, and fragrant flavor that pairs well with the crispy shrimp.

Can I use chicken instead of shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute shrimp with chicken. However, the cooking steps may vary slightly, as chicken will require a longer cooking time compared to shrimp.

What is the best type of shrimp to use for this recipe?

Whole, medium-sized shrimp are recommended. You can also use peeled shrimp, but the steps may change, such as in the frying process, to avoid them becoming too watery.

Why is it important to rough-chop the ingredients for the Sambal rather than blending them?

Rough-chopping the ingredients for Sambal helps maintain a chunky texture, which enhances the flavor profile and makes the dish more aromatic. Blending the ingredients would create a smoother texture, which is not ideal for this particular recipe.

How can I adjust the spiciness of the Sambal?

To make the Sambal spicier, you can add more Thai chili. Adjusting the amount of chili allows you to control the level of heat based on your preference.

What is the role of the Kecombrang flower in the recipe?

Kecombrang flower adds a floral, fruity aroma to the Sambal, along with a tart or astringent taste. Its unique flavor helps balance the spiciness of the chili and the richness of the shrimp.

Why should you fry the shrimp separately before mixing with the Sambal?

Frying the shrimp separately ensures they are crispier and more fragrant. It also prevents the Sambal from becoming watery, as the shrimp will release moisture during cooking.

What are the benefits of using the Winn Gas W-828 Exclusive Stove in this recipe?

The Winn Gas W-828 Exclusive Stove provides a stable and optimized flame, which is essential for stir-frying the Sambal and frying the shrimp. The stove is also durable, easy to clean, and equipped with a safety feature that cuts the gas if water overflows.

Can I skip the frying step and directly cook the shrimp in the Sambal?

Yes, you can directly cook the shrimp in the Sambal, but the texture may differ. The shrimp won’t be as crispy, and the Sambal may become more watery as the shrimp release moisture while cooking.

What type of rice pairs best with this dish?

This dish pairs well with regular rice or Turmeric Rice, as the fragrant, spicy Sambal complements the mild, slightly earthy flavor of the rice.
