Description
Sambal Oelek Chili Paste - 370 g
Sambal Oelek is a traditional Indonesian spice paste, originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, and has spread worldwide as an indispensable flavour component. The paste is made from crushed red chili peppers, which are the dominant ingredient, making up approximately 78-86%, combined with salt and acidic additives. The consistency is coarse and rustic, as the chili peppers are crushed rather than pureed completely smooth, giving it a characteristic texture with visible chili bits. The flavour is intense, sharp, and spicy, with a clear acidity from the vinegar balancing the heat from the chili peppers. The paste is widely used in Asian cuisine as a flavour enhancer 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 great in marinades and dressings, where it contributes both heat and complexity. The product comes in a convenient 370g glass, which is easy to store and dispense. Dry storage is recommended. The paste is suitable for anyone who wants to add authentic Asian seasoning to everyday dishes and is particularly popular among food enthusiasts working with Indonesian, Thai, or general Asian cooking.
