Prawn Sambal Spare Ribs

Saw this special recipe in a cookbook that I had bought recently. Usually we used Sambal Paste to cook either Seafood like for eg: Prawn, Squid or Fish. Sometime we also used it for Sambal Chicken. But I had not taste or heard using sambal to cook pork ribs. So I decided to give it a try. The ingredients are quiet straight forwards and to my surprised it actually doesn’t taste as hot as it look like….. Overall it’s a good try on this recipe for those who like sambal sauce, can give it a try on the Prawn Sambal Spare Ribs.
