Add a photoThe British have their dainty cucumber sandwich....eaten with raised pinkies. Malaysia, a former British colony, added a little a lot of spice to the cucumber sandwich, and came up with the sambal sandwich. We made this sandwich in our Asian Mini Sandwiches class at Whole Foods recently and it was a hit! The butter softens the spice of the sambal, and the cucumber cools the palate.

- 2 small cloves of garlic
- 3 small shallots, sliced

Инструкции
- Preparing the spice paste: chilies, garlic, shallots, belachan, tumeric, galangal and lemongrass in a food processor till a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Drain the dried shrimps. Separately, place in food processor and grind till fine.
- Cooking the sambal: In a wok or a saucepan, heat ¼ cup canola oil on medium high. Fry the spice paste till fragrant, red and oil has separated, about 7-10 minutes. Add more oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Add the dried shrimp and sugar. Fry until aromatic, about 5 minutes. Add tamarind liquid. Continue cooking, adding more oil if necessary for another 10 minutes until the sambal is a dry and deep red in color.
- Assemble the sandwich: Remove bread crust, and place two slices of bread on a cutting board. Generously smear butter on one side of each slice of bread. Spread on a thin layer of the sambal, top with cucumber and sandwich with buttered bread. Cut bread into diagonally twice making 4 tiny triangles per sandwich.
