Reddit reviews Sambal Oelek Chilli Paste 18oz

I love Sambal Oelek https://www.amazon.com/Sambal-Oelek-Chilli-Paste-18oz/dp/B000JMDHCC

It has 1g carbohydrate per tsp. Just account for it in macros.

Try sambal oelek if you have not. its low enough to be rounded to zero carbs (admittedly that could be a very tiny difference) and is incredibly delicious.

aotd: This, I believe /u/mehimehi can confirm its spiciness, and also this. Btw, I don't think these can be categorized as 'sauce', they are too thick.

wsiwt: Rain. So naturally, Crockett & Jones Coniston.

If you don't want to hassle with making your own, Sambal Oelek is pretty similar but 0g of carbs. I've heard of people just putting it through a food processor to make it more smooth like sriracha.

Really depends on the food. Ramen gets Dave's Insanity Sauce (but just a drop! AND peanut butter, btw - so good), other Asian stuff gets Sambal Oelek, barbecue gets Dinosaur BBQ Devil's Duel, Tex-Mex gets Mountain Man, and so on.

I don't really have one "be all end all" sauce. It's all about letting the food pick the sauce.

Indonesian Chili Paste

Jalapeños, (I buy diced and just add to dishes that way)

Sambal Oelek, chili paste

Go Chu Jang sauce (Asian savory/sweet hot sauce/condiment)

Hot chili oil like this one. I don't buy at amazon just want to show you the jar

If you buy gochujang (middle one), you shouldn't have to buy cho-gochujang as well. Gochujang is the main ingredient in cho-gochujang and can be made easily.

I, personally, don't find gochujang to be very spicy at all. If you just want spicy, try adding pepper powders, fresh peppers, hot oils, and hot sauces.

Do you have a bbq?

Throw just plain wings on the grill.
No butter or oil.

Crank it to around 425°f and turn wings often so they don’t burn.

Take off when they get browned and crispy.
Toss in a bowl with bit of salt.

-1/4 cup ranch

-1/4 cup Sambal

-1 tbsp melted butter.

Toss with wings.
Best ever.

If you're looking for something lazy and cheap you can just mix pretty much any BBQ sauce with Sambal Oelek

Sure. I tend not to use American style hot sauces (like Tabasco) in stir fry, but that's mainly because I don't like the vinegary notes. I tend to go for either a basic chili garlic sauce or more frequently sambal olek which is similar but hotter. But you should use whichever you prefer.

Sambal. Same company, basically the same sauce, but no sugar. Sambal + sugar + puree = Sriracha

This is in my crockpot right now and I'm eating it over either broccoli or green beans with a half cup of rice. The sauce combines well with everything.

Here's a good spicy rub:

This is delicious and I only account for about a tablespoon of the marinade in my cals since there's always tons leftover:

For green beans, try sautéing with garlic and some Sambal chili paste. So good.

I've also seen some recipes where you use a 35 cal laughing cow wedge to make a cheese sauce for broccoli.

Kung Pao Chicken http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/kung-pao-chicken-50400000108350/

The recipe is written a little confusingly. but you can sub other vegetables, like green pepper and peas. I also sub This for the crushed red pepper and chicken breast for thigh. Also good soy sauce really makes a difference.

Edit the recipe really is hard to read so i will write it out since I am bored.

Red Rooster if you want some delicious Cajun vinegary hot sauce which goes amazing on pizza too

Sambal Oelek if you feelin for some Asian inspired hot sauce

I do, I like the whole range of normal hot sauces. When you start getting into the really painful stuff I'm not really into it, but a drop or two of Dave's Insanity Sauce can really improve a dish of mediocre mild salsa. At that rate the jar I bought on a whim will last a few decades. Eating Thai food I'll ask for a heat level of 2-3/4 out of 3, if that makes sense. 70% of my heat additions as an ingredient or condiment come from Sambal Oelek, I'll put it in everything from eggs to salad dressing. I'll use dried Thai chili flakes for other recipes like tacos or Lentil Dal. I keep Sriracha around, but it basically only goes on leftover pizza and a bottle will last me forever. My fiancee hates it, so I never include it as an ingredient. I will use a good amount in Pho though. Unfortunately for me, Tabasco is the most commonly available hot sauce, and I have a moderate dislike of the stuff. I'll eat it when the food is so boring it needs some heat added, but I'll pick pretty much any hot sauce in existence over it.
However, unlike my father, I can some times be perfectly content to eat foods with subtle flavors. He basically writes them off as bland, and then dumps a huge pile of any available hot sauce onto it.

obviously

Is it this?

> It would require someone to have ketchup and sriracha sauce and I just don't ever see that happening.

Why not?

I don't use Sriracha I use Sembal Oelek, very close. Sriracha has experienced a surge in popularity lately though. Marketing.

Funny thing, I have this on my desk in front of me, and I'm sure it was less than five bucks. Amazon wants sixty bucks for it???

Edit: Just went to T&T, you can buy Sriracha ketchup there.
