Made by Mak Som and her son Fauzi · since 1994

“If you can hear the bilis crack when you shake the jar, it is ready. If not, it goes back in the wok.”

Mak Som started frying sambal for the Friday market in Kuala Krai in 1994. She still uses the same kawah, a black iron wok wider than her arms, over a wood fire behind the house.

“Tastes exactly like the sambal my late grandmother sent down from Kelantan every Raya. I cried a little at dinner. Ordered four more jars.”
