About Sambal oelek

Sambal Oelek is a traditional Indonesian chili paste made primarily from fresh red chili peppers, vinegar, and salt. Known for its simple yet fiery flavor profile, it is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine to add heat and depth to dishes. Unlike many other chili sauces, Sambal Oelek is free of added sugars and preservatives, making it a cleaner choice for spice lovers. Chili peppers in the paste contain capsaicin, which may promote metabolism and support cardiovascular health. However, its high sodium content warrants mindful use for those monitoring their salt intake. Sambal Oelek is versatile, adding a vibrant kick to marinades, stir-fries, dips, and soups while being naturally vegan and gluten-free. A staple for fans of bold flavors, this condiment delivers robust heat with minimal additives.
