Rojak | All Time Favourite

Its always summer in Malaysia. Today, we, the Marios, are here to cool you off by introducing you the traditional Fruit Rojak.

It only takes simple steps to make your own delicious Fruit Rojak. But first, let me talk about Fruit Rojak briefly. Rojak is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The term "Rojak" is Malay for mixture.

The core of its flavour comes from its sauce. So now, these are the few methods to make the sauce.

Things you'll need

1/2 cup water

Saucepan

3 tablespoon of dark brown sugar

Whisk

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

1 tablespoon of shrimp paste

1 tablespoon of tamarind paste

1 tablespoon of minced Scotch bonnet pepper

Procedure:

Step 1: Pour the water into the saucepan and place it over high heat. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to low.

Step 2: Add the dark brown sugar to the saucepan and stir with a whisk until it dissolves.

Step 3: Add the oyster sauce, shrimp paste and tamarind paste to the saucepan and continue whisking for two minutes.

Step 4: Stir the Scotch bonnet pepper into the contents of the saucepan and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. 

Step 5: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 30 minutes or to room temperature before tossing with rojak.

Tips: Refrigerate or freeze leftover rojak sauce immediately. Consume refrigerated sauce within 5 days and frozen sauce within 3 months.

You can serve the rojak sauce with literally anything, such as fruits, vegetables or even crispy food of your own choice.
