Housewarming Party 3. A Recipe of Sambal Goreng Cirebon

Still continuing my housewarming party's recipe. Now it's time for a recipe of Sambal Goreng Cirebon (Cirebonese Fried Sambal). It's not really like a chili paste, a term for sambal. This sambal goreng's recipe was adpated from Nining's recipe, in which original recipe uses beef as well as innards. As I mentioned on previous posts, my husband doesn't eat red meat, so I used tempeh, tofu and shrimp. Instead of fresh red chillies, I used dried new Mexico chilies to get brighter red color.

Please get right back, I still have another recipe of my housewarming party left on my next post.
