Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 mango , slightly under-ripe
1 papaya , not too ripe
1 large tart apple (such as Granny Smith's)
400g prepared pineapple (roughly one small fruit), cut into chunks
½ ridge cucumber , peeled and cut into chunks (available from Waitrose or your local greengrocers)
½ ripe Galia or Ogen melon
30g roasted unsalted peanuts , very roughly chopped
1 tbsp white sesame seeds , lightly toasted
2 tbsp tamarind paste
2 tsp fish sauce (optional)
2 limes , juiced
2 tbsp palm sugar or soft light brown sugar
1 tsp sambal oelek (a chilli paste), or 2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the ingredients for the dressing together. Peel the mango and cut the cheeks from each side of the stone. Remove the rest of the flesh and slice, discarding any squashed or bruised bits (you need firm flesh for this dish). Peel the papaya, halve, deseed and cut the flesh into slices, and do the same with the melon.
  • Peel or leave the skin of the apple intact, whichever you prefer, then halve, core and cut into small chunks, or thin slices. Carefully toss all the fruit together with the dressing (it works best to use your hands). Taste. You may find you need more lime once the dressing is tossed with the fruit. If using this as a relish instead of as a fruit salad, add chopped coriander. Scatter the peanuts and sesame seeds over before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe and fresh fruits and vegetables. This will give the rojak sauce a vibrant color and taste.

  • If you want a sweeter rojak sauce, add a bit of palm sugar or honey. You can also add some grated pineapple or mango for a tropical twist.
  • Rojak sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. However, it is best to use it fresh for the best flavor.
