How to Make Sambal Pedal Ayam Satu Sudu Besar (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Sambal Pedal Ayam Satu Sudu Besar is a beloved dish in Malaysia, celebrated for its bold and aromatic flavors. This vegetarian adaptation uses protein-rich tempeh as a substitute for ayam (chicken), creating a healthy and satisfying meal while capturing the essence of Malaysian multicultural cuisine. The dish is named for its signature sambal—a spicy, tangy chili paste—that coats the 'pedal' (gizzard) or, in this case, tempeh, delivering layers of heat, umami, and fragrance. Malaysian sambal is more than just a condiment; it’s a cultural staple, often made with local ingredients like cili merah (red chilies), bawang merah (shallots), bawang putih (garlic), and a touch of asam jawa (tamarind) for tang. The addition of daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves) and serai (lemongrass) imparts a uniquely Malaysian depth to the dish. This recipe is not only a showcase of Malaysia’s rich heritage but also a health-conscious choice, rich in plant-based protein and fiber, making it ideal for those tracking their nutrition. Enjoyed with warm nasi perang (brown rice) or ulam-ulaman (fresh herbs), this sambal delivers complexity and satisfaction, while remaining light enough for a wholesome lunch. It’s a perfect representation of Malaysia’s vibrant culinary landscape, reflecting influences from Malay, Indian, and Chinese traditions.
Bahan-bahan(untuk 1 bowl (with 120g tempeh sambal per serving))
- 200g Tempeh (cubed, as vegetarian substitute for pedal ayam)
- 6 Cili merah segar (fresh red chilies) (sliced)
- 3 Bawang merah (shallots) (peeled)
- 2 cloves Bawang putih (garlic) (peeled)
- 1 stalk Serai (lemongrass) (white part only, thinly sliced)
- 2 Daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves) (torn)
- 1 tablespoon Asam jawa (tamarind paste) (mixed with 2 tbsp water, strained)

Arahan

Prepare the sambal paste: Blend cili merah, bawang merah, bawang putih, and serai into a coarse paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
5 minutes
For less heat, deseed the chilies before blending.

Heat minyak masak in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the blended paste until fragrant and oil separates, about 5-7 minutes.
7 minutes
Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

Add daun limau purut, asam jawa mixture, garam, and gula perang. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for 2 minutes.
2 minutes
Daun limau purut adds a citrusy aroma—lightly bruise the leaves for more flavor.

Add cubed tempeh to the sambal. Stir-fry until tempeh is heated through and well-coated with sambal, about 5-6 minutes.
6 minutes
If preferred, lightly pan-fry tempeh beforehand for extra texture.
