Green Chili with Sweet Soy Sauce

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This green chili with sweet soy sauce is weirdly delicious and simple!

Our mom quite often cooks green chili with sweet soy sauce. Usually after she is home after long days working at our farm at Ciwidey. My mom usually serves this recipe along with another sundanese dishes. For example traditional fried chicken (will share the recipe soon!), fried tofu, fried salted fish, sambal, and karedok. When I first tried this green chili with sweet soy sauce, I felt so weird because I don’t understand why she used chilis as main ingredient for a dish. And the ingredients are soooo simple. And weirdly the taste is not that spicy and very delicious. A type of food that you won’t get bored easily.

The outside of the green chili is crunchy and you get that smoky taste from frying it, the inside is soft because we cut the chilis vertically in one side so the sauce is seeping through. Kind of textures that I love in a food.

Don’t forget to use large green chilis, because it’s actually not that spicy (it’s even not spicy for my taste). But if you aren’t getting used to spicy food, you can discharge the seeds.

Mostly sweet soy sauce (in green rectangle)

For the seasoning, it’s sweet soy sauce based.

Just fyi sweet soy sauce or kecap manis, as we Indonesian call it, is sold much more than regular soy sauce in Indonesia. You can see that from shelves in every supermarket is dominated by kecap manis rather than regular soy sauce.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper
