Our sambal tumis can also be served as a condiment with any Asian meal, whether that’s rice, noodles or even flatbread like chapati or parata. One of my favourite ways with leftover sambal tumis? As a sandwich spread. So think buttered bread (vegan or otherwise), slather on the sambal tumis, then fill your sandwich up however you want to.
