    For the sambal, peel onions and garlic. Chop the onions finely. Chop garlic very finely. Clean the chilli, cut lengthwise, remove seeds, wash and dice very finely.

    Chop the tomatoes a little bit, bring to the boil. Add capers. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    For the noodles, bring 3-4 l salted water (approx. 1 teaspoon salt per litre) to the boil. Clean and wash the broccoli. Cut the florets with the longest possible stem from the stalk, then cut into small florets.
