Slice the shallots very thinly into half moons.
Finely chop the soft inner part of the lemongrass and the hot peppers.
Mix the shallots, lemongrass, hot peppers, lemon peel, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the oil in a small pan for 2 minutes.
Pour the hot oil over the mixture and add the lime juice.
Rest the sambal matah for 5 minutes and transfer it to a serving bowl.
💡 Tip: Pour the oil over the mixture hot but not smoking; very high heat cooks the onion and removes sambal's raw freshness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sambal matah in a small bowl with grilled fish, chicken, or optional plain rice.
