Sambal ikan bilis (Orang Asli version)

Our orang asli friends taught us how to make this. After trying this sambal at their house, my husband and I knew we need to have this at our home and it is so easy to make!


Recipe
100gm ikan bilis/anchovies
1 onion (chopped finely)
8-9 bird eyes chillies (cili padi) (or to your liking)
Dash of salt
Oil for deep-frying


1. Place the oil into a wok and turn it on high heat.
2. Once it is hot, lower it down to medium heat and fry the ikan bilis.
3. Once the ikan bilis is almost done (turned light brown), pour in the onion and give it a little stir.
4. Dish out once the ikan bilis has turned goldren brown (crunchy).
5. Placed the ikan bilis, onion and bird eye chillies into a mortar and give it some pounding.
6. Once it has become fine, placed it into a bowl and add salt.
