Sambal Lado Mudo - Green Chili and Tomato Relish
Sambal lado mudo, or more popularly known as sambal cabe ijo, is definitely the most famous chili relish from Padang cuisine. It may look like a pure green mess, but once you taste it, messy or not, you’ll want to have it with every meal. If you order a rice meal in any Padang restaurant, this sambal is almost always guaranteed to be included in your meal, and most are generous enough to give more if you ask. For those who don’t have easy access to Padang restaurant, here is my simple recipe to recreate sambal lado mudo at home.
