Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Stephen Ceideburg
6 1/2 oz Salted yellow beans
5 Cloves garlic
1 ts Ground ginger
1/2 c Tamarind water

'Tauco' is salted yellow beans; you can buy them in Britain at Chinese
grocery shops, in cans. Sambal Tauco is another hot relish that keeps
for a long time. You can make it less hot by using less chilli.

Crush the garlic and the yellow beans together, either pounding them
in a mortar or by means of a liquidizer. Seed the green chillis and
slice them finely. Slice the shallots or onion. If you are using root
ginger, peel and chop it into very small sticks. Heat the oil and
saute the shallots for 1 minute. Add the chillis and ginger and saute
for another minute; then put in the tauco and garlic paste, sugar,
tamarind water and the water. Stir, then simmer for about 8 minutes.
Stir again, still cooking, for 1 minute. Serve hot, or allow the
sambal to cool before storing it in an airtight jar.
