Sambal terasi is a skillful Indonesian recipe made by roasting shrimp paste in an air fryer, then pounding it with red pepper and garlic into a spicy sauce. Roasting the shrimp paste for the right amount of time is key to balancing its pungent aroma.
Roast the shrimp paste in an air fryer at 180°C / 355°F for 6 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, you can roast it in a preheated oven instead.
Roast the red pepper and garlic in an air fryer at 180°C / 355°F for 9 minutes.
Pound the roasted ingredients with the lemon juice in a mortar until you have a smooth sauce.
Do not over-roast the shrimp paste; burnt paste gives the sauce a bitter flavor. If you do not have an air fryer, you can roast it in a preheated oven instead. Allergen: contains shellfish (shrimp paste).
