Sambal Oelek Ground Fresh Chili Paste (Large 18 oz Jars) 2 Pack

Was on the hunt for this chili paste style of hot sauce and finally asked my favorite local Turkish restaurant what they use. The owner was kind enough to take a photo of the bottle in the kitchen that they pour into smaller bottles. Now I've got it at home! Heat level is perfect, some good kick but not too much. A little goes a long way so this 2 pack is great value for the amount of sauce provided. This stuff is versatile, I'm still trying it on all sorts of foods and have rediscovered my love for eggs as a protein source with this stuff!

Love this stuff!!! Those small jars at the local stores only last for about 3 meals. If I ate Asian food everyday, I'd be buying by the gallon!

Very delicious, I use a LOT of this, a jar doesn't last long!

I love this stuff. I use it as an ingredient for many dishes. For me, which I know is widely subjective, the spice level is just right. If you like to use chili flakes in your cooking, you might enjoy this too.

I wish I new about this product earlier. I found out about it after I search the recipe for hot braised shrimp. But also it can be used on many different things where a little spice is needed or wanted. Best on scrambled eggs, or avocado toast.

I bought 4 jars last year and one or two of them had leaked, it was hard to tell because all the jars had some leakage on them being in a common package. With all the jars when I screwed off the top the hard part of the sealing had separated from a piece of thin plastic that was attached to the jar. The piece of thin plastic had a crumby surface of some silvery junk with dried leakage of the sauce that had come off the hard part of the seal. There was no use by date on any of the jars. I tried to send them back but it did not allow returns. I was afraid to use them. This week I purchased a jar from a grocery store and the seals were fine, not like the 4 that I purchased here. I gave 3 stars, that is average of 5 for the product and 0 for the vendor MEIWA. Update: I ordered two more jars and those seem fine, and these do have an expiration date on them. The seller was different from my prior purchase. Increased my rating to 4 stars.

Ordered this through amazon fresh. Wish it was sold in a larger size. These are just too small for how often I would love to use it. Decided to try it in some scrambled eggs I made and dont want scrambled eggs any other way. I was never a fan of scrambled eggs to begin with. My boyfriend does so I make it often for him but skip out on eating. This though finally adds flavor. Even when I add in fresh garlic, bell peppers and onions to the scrambled eggs, the flavor of eggs always just overpowered anything ever add to it for me. This makes it pop

I love chili's as everyone will attest and like a lot of heat. From my fairly broad chili experience I would rate this as one of the best hot sauces I have tried. It's a little more complex than the average supermarket fare and has a little sweet, a little sour to go with the heat. It also has a nice texture that combines well with other ingredients but is thick enough that it can stand alone like a good ketchup. I put it in soba noodle dishes, stir fry dishes and have mixed it with a little mayo to make a quick salad dressing or to top a burger. It was super on a plain old grilled cheese so I bet it would be awesome in mac-and-cheese. So many recipes--so little time. If you have friends that are chili-heads, this is a nice little jar of "thanks" or "thinking of you" sentiment. Spice-wise I would put it at a heat level somewhere between a jalapeno and an arbol but start with one jar and try it and then if you like it order in bulk. One note: one of the jars did rupture minimally during shipping but it was salvageable so I used it first. Since the exterior box was dented but not breached I took a chance being the cheapskate that I am. However, I think they would have made it right if I had complained.
