Introduction and history
Sinamu is a traditional food for the Rungus ethnic community in Sabah, especially in the districts of Kudat, Tenom, and Pitas which are popular as appetizers. This dish comes from fermentation or pickling techniques based on hal-ripe fruits such as mango, papaya, jackfruit and bambangan depending on individual taste. Sinamu generally has a combination of sour and salty flavors, suitable for eating with white rice or other side dishes (Esterlina, 2024).

-
● Fruits - Young mango (the main choice), young papaya, young jackfruit or bambangan fruit
● 1 tablespoon salt - for the pickling process
● 2 galangal seeds - Finely ground
● ½ cup hot water - Used to mix ingredients
● 1 bambangan peel (optional)
● A handful of Anchovies (optional)
● 15 bird’s eyes chilies (optional)
1. Choose fully fortified fruits for the best results. Cut the fruits to the desired size.
2. Mix the cut fruit together with the mashed galangal, salt, and a little hot water. If you want to make a difference, add bambangan fruit skin, fried anchovies and chili for extra flavour.
3. Once all the ingredients are well mixed, place them in an airtight container and store them overnight to get a well-rounded flavour.
4. Sinamu can be eaten on its own or eaten with rice and other side dishes.
