Description
Sambal Oelek Chili Paste - 370 g
Sambal Oelek is a traditional Indonesian spice paste, originating from Southeast Asian cuisine and widely spread globally as an indispensable flavor component. The paste is made from crushed red chili peppers, which constitute the dominant ingredient with a proportion of approximately 78-86%, combined with salt and acidic additives. The consistency is coarse and rustic, as the chili peppers are crushed rather than pureed smoothly, giving a characteristic texture with visible chili bits. The taste is intense, sharp, and spicy with a distinct acidity from the vinegar, balancing the heat from the chili peppers. The paste is widely used in Asian cuisine as a flavoring in stews, stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups, and rice dishes, but also works well as a dipping sauce or table condiment. It can be added directly during cooking to give the dish depth and strength, or served separately as an accompaniment. Sambal Oelek is also well-suited for marinades and dressings, where it contributes both heat and complexity. The product comes in a convenient 370 g glass, which is easy to store and dispense. Storage in a dry place is recommended. The paste is aimed at anyone who wants to add authentic Asian seasoning to everyday dishes, and is particularly popular among food enthusiasts who work with Indonesian, Thai, or general Asian cooking.
