The Huey Fong Sambal Oelek Chili Paste company underwent adverse weather conditions and unexpected crop failure which caused a shortage of the product on the market. They are now if full production and I am so happy they are back. It is my opinion, however, that the Chills are slightly less spicy but still have their great flavor.
I put this s*** on everything, sorry, a Frank's Red Hot joke. Seriously though it is a delicious base to any meal. I started only using it in Asian dishes but then I realized I could spice up my chili and give it another level of flavor. If you do not like spicy don't like spicy, then only us 3/4 of a teaspoon to make sure it's the flavor you're looking for. You could always add more. I generally use two good-sized tablespoons in a large pot for the whole family meal. I throw it in right after I sauteed my onions and bloomed the garlic and let it cook for a few minutes to start releasing some of the oils in it. I've even used it in a rub on different Meats. This chili paste, is in my opinion, the best on the market and can make any meal taste delicious and with a touch of spice. Enjoy!!!
I needed some Sambal Oelek for a crock-pot recipe to make a Korean barbecue dish, so I orded this product. It worked well and made a wonderful flavour similar to what one would expect to find at a Korean restaurant. It is very spicy and has a nice hot taste. A small ammount goes along way. There is no heavy smell in the food nor in the house with this chili paste. As the bottle has more than one needs to make a meal, we found many good uses for the chili paste including on eggs, with other stir fry meals and even to spice up tacos. Our bottle lasted a bit more than three months and being kept in the refrigerator the whole time it kept its flavour and spiciness. It does come in a plastic container, not glass
