I made sambal sotong (squid fried with sambal chilli sauce) the other day, a very unassuming dish and therefore in order to do this dish some justice, one needs to concentrate on simple fresh ingredients and try to achieve bold flavors. What are the basic components of this dish that makes sambal sotong so special? Foremost, you need the flavor of the squid dominating this dish -that neutral seafood flavor with a hint of clam-like sweetness (well they evolved from bi-valves didn't they?), encapsulating this delicate flavor is the right amount of sambal -fiery and yet sweet -mind as well make the sambal sauce with char-roasted chilli peppers for an additional smokey flavor.
