Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the large onion, kaffir lime leaves, and bird’s eye chilies. Once cleaned, slice the onion and chilies thinly, and tear the kaffir lime leaves into smaller pieces to release their fragrant oils.
-
Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bird’s eye chilies to the pan. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onion turns translucent, creating a flavorful base for the dish.
-
Incorporate the Tuna: Gently add the can of tuna, including the sambal sauce, into the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sautéed aromatics. Season the mixture with salt, sugar, and your choice of seasoning, adjusting to taste.
-
Add Liquid and Kaffir Lime: Pour in a small amount of water to help the ingredients meld together. Then, introduce the torn kaffir lime leaves into the skillet, allowing their unique flavor to infuse the dish.
-
Taste and Serve: After a few moments of cooking, taste your creation and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once the flavors are balanced and the dish is heated through, your Tuna Sambal Goreng is ready to be served.
