Ebi Sambal Ingredients

Why are there so many chili seeds in the #LongSheng #halal #HaeBeeHiam (#EbiSambal) aka Prawn Chili Sauce / Dried Shrimp Sambal?

Chef Tony Tee, the creator of the sauce, wants you to experience the specially selected "Cabe Merah" (curly chili) from Indonesia, without diluting the natural and unique capsaicin loaded flavor in the production process of the sambal.

The soaking process actually allows the seeds to float and be sieved, but doing that will directly cause the placenta to be diluted of the capsaicin. This affects the overall natural taste and flavour profile of the Cabe Merah (both fresh and dried)

Chili seeds are edible, non toxic and has nutrients. After the body absorbs the nutrients, the waste fiber will be excreted.

​This explains why we maintain the seeds in the product rather than to de-seed them. The top quality dried shrimps are also sourced directly from the Riau Islands, so you get the most authentic shrimp laden flavour!
