Thanks for the recipe Woon Heng. It never occurred to me to use kelp for the seafood flavour. Brilliant. Will give this a try.

I usually simply omit them and adjust the amount of chili and tamarind when I need make without allium.

First time seeing kelp in sambal. Will try this version one day. Good job in making vegan asian dishes! We need more varieties of delicious home made vegan meals.

Looks delish! Could I use lemongrass paste in place of the actual stalk in the rice or would it alter the flavour too much?

[@WoonHeng]

oh yes, that will work! the flavor might be stronger with the paste

[@e.z.s1420]

What can I replace Tamarind juice with?

[@cel4085]

Hi WoonHeng, I found your cooking video by chance. I like the way you cook. The sambal looks great! 😃 I've been wanting to make vegetarian nasi lemak but wasn't sure how to make the sambal. I am a vegetarian. Can I omit the onions when preparing sambal? Or is there a substitute for onions?

[@WoonHeng]

Hey Cel, I actually made them without onion before and just use chiles. But I would adjust the sugar. Can you have other spices such as lemongrass or galangal? If yes, you can a small amount of those to increase the taste. If you can find curry leaves, that'll be even better. Without onion, you'll need to add more chiles.

[@cel4085]

@@WoonHeng Thank you for your reply. I really like lemongrass and curry leaves. It's great to know I can use them to substitute the onion. 😊👍🏻

[@riyaghosh870]

Can I make the sambal sauce without the kept and tamarind sauce? thanks! looks delish.

[@WoonHeng]

It will lack of some umami taste without the kelp. If you can't find tamarind, you can use lime juice. A little sourness goes a long way. :-)
