Description
Sambal Oelek Chili Paste - 370 g
Sambal Oelek is a traditional Indonesian spice paste, originating from Southeast Asian cuisine and widely adopted worldwide as an indispensable flavour component. The paste is made from crushed red chili peppers, which are the dominant ingredient, making up about 78-86%, combined with salt and acidic additives. The consistency is coarse and rustic, as the chili peppers are crushed rather than completely pureed, giving a characteristic texture with visible chili bits. The flavour 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 flavour enhancer in stews, stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups, and rice dishes, but also works 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 practical 370g jar, which is easy to store and dispense. Dry storage is recommended. The paste appeals to anyone looking to add authentic Asian seasoning to everyday meals and is particularly popular among food enthusiasts working with Indonesian, Thai, or general Asian cooking.
