Simple Dinner with Sambal Sardine

I learn how to cook from my parents, when I was around 10 years old. They taught me simple recipe to cook when they come home late or out of town. Those days, we don’t have so much option like Grab Food or other type of delivery. So, I comfort myself with something simple from the can that I remember until today, the best dishes with rice.


Malaysian traditional dinner is rice served with main dishes like chicken curry, sambal sardine, chicken korma, prawn sambal etc and side dishes like fried eggs or vegetables. That’s staple.


Today, we are making Sambal Sardin 😍 to serve with rice and fried eggs.

Wok is necessary, it’s important in all our household.
