Malaysian Style Okra and Shrimp
One of the best Malay dishes to eat with sambal sauce is okra with shrimp. There are several kinds of sambal sauce, a chile condiment consumed all over Indonesia. A delightful and more palatable Malaysian dish is made of sautéed okra with shrimp, brightened with lime zest, and served with a punchy, subtle sauce made of hot sambal oelek, aromatic ginger, and garlic. Savored with piping-hot rice or noodles.

Teriyaki Chicken with Sweet Slaw
Teriyaki chicken, which is sweet, salty, and sticky, is the ideal weeknight meal. The Japanese phrase "teriyaki" describes grilled dishes that have been seasoned with soy sauce using a marinade, basting, or dipping sauce. Teriyaki, as it is known to Americans, has Japanese American roots and often consists of additional sweetness from sugar or mirin, as well as aromatics and occasionally fruit juice. For our home-made teriyaki sauce, we use fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create that cherished flavor with a hint of tang.
Complete the meal by serving this popular takeout staple with a sweet slaw and white rice.
