About Acar Rampai
Chai Leng’s acar rampai is a Malaysian mixed-vegetable pickle with cucumber, carrot, onion, garlic and chillies. Her version combines a drained vinegar marinade with a separately fried aromatic mixture.
Ginger, shallot and candlenut enrich the seasoning. Mustard and sesame seeds add their distinct flavours, while turmeric, sugar and salt complete the sweet-sour mixture.
The vegetables remain in substantial slices within the pickle. The fresh cucumber and carrot give contrasting vegetable textures, with the fried spices distributed through the mixture.
