Sambal

Sambal is a special sauce that comes from countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. It is made from a mixture of different ingredients that are mashed and mixed together. These ingredients can include peppers, garlic, onions, vinegar, and sometimes sugar or salt.

Think of sambal like a spicy ketchup that you put on your food to make it taste better. It can be used as a dip, a spread, or even as a marinade for meat. Some people put it on their eggs, chicken, or even their pizza to give it a little kick.

When you try sambal, it can be a little bit spicy, so you might want to start with just a little bit at first. But once you get used to it, you'll love how it adds flavor and heat to your food!
