Making accompanying sauces for soups/fried noodles

This simple sauce is eaten with soups; (as in soto), fried vermicelli, fried flat noodles(koay teow) or fried yellow noodles.You can also serve with rice porridge. It makes the food taste better.

Black Sambal Sauce ingredients:


Bird chillies (cili padi)and garlic cloves pounded coarsely and mixed with black sweet soya sauce,and sugar to taste.(Omit the garlic if you don't fancy raw garlic.)
You may add lime juice or vinegar, only if you prefer.I think it tastes better without these sour ingredients.

Sugar too may be omitted if the soya sauce is already sweet.
