    释义

    名词

    以辣椒、红葱头、蒜头、峇拉煎（belacan，即虾米膏 ）等材料制成的酱料。

    DEFINITION

    Noun

    A spicy sauce or paste made using ingredients such as chilli, shallots, garlic and belacan (fermented shrimp paste).

    由来
    • 马来语 Sambal 的音译。
    • 参峇是东南亚地区的特色酱料之一，颜色一般为鲜红油亮，香气浓郁，口感辛辣。
    • 制作参峇最好的方法是用石杵捣舂材料，因为这么做只会打散辣椒的纤维，在吃参峇时仍可吃到辣椒碎片的口感。
    • 参峇可以当作蘸酱，也可作为调料用于烹调各种佳肴，如本地常见的参峇蕹菜、参峇苏东、参峇炒饭等。
    ETYMOLOGY
    • The Mandarin term “参峇” is the transliteration of the Malay term sambal.
    • Sambal is one of the specialty sauces of Southeast Asia. It is generally bright red, aromatic and spicy.
    • The best way to make sambal is to pound all the ingredients with a stone pestle. This method breaks up the chilli fibres but retains the texture of the chilli bits.
    • Sambal can be used as a dip or as seasoning in cooking various local dishes such as sambal kangkong (water spinach), sambal sotong (squid), and sambal fried rice.
    例句
