Result

Because sambal bali is usually enjoyed with warm white rice as a side dish. I am very happy to be able to make my own sambal at home. You know I enjoyed tuna sambal bali yesterday during a training event and I thought it was very good. That's why I really wanted to try it myself at home. And I succeeded this time, everything was very good.

The combination of tongkol with chili sauce is very unified, a little spicy savory and sweet just right not over. Most importantly, the aroma of onions makes this Balinese chili sauce even more spectacular. I loved this and everyone at home did too. ![20250814_104432.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nurfay/EpELCDPQt7MHgnP5zKBd5RUrUtMDFyw5d2ALsjxemuCKXqQeRXGdMoP6jwMp1qws8GX.jpg)
