About

Bumbu Rujak is a sweet and spicy sauce. It goes well with almost anything, from protein to fruit. In Javanese taste, the Bumbu Rujak has to taste sweet and salty. A little bit of coconut milk is then used to add savory to the dish. To get the reddish look without the spiciness, simply use large red chilli. If there is no fresh chilli, you can substitute it with red paprika or chilli flakes.
