Royal Orient Chilli paste Sambal Oelek 720 g

✨ Royal Orient Sambal Oelek for clean, direct chilli heat 🌶️

Royal Orient Sambal Oelek is a spicy chilli paste made from crushed chilli peppers and salt. The flavour is straightforward and punchy—more chilli-forward than sweet—so it’s ideal when you want heat without changing the overall taste of your dish.

Use it as a condiment at the table, or stir a little into soups, noodles, marinades, and stir-fries. Start with a small spoonful, taste, and build up until you hit your preferred spice level.

✅ Key features

• Pure, chilli-first flavour with no sweetness—great when you want heat that doesn’t overpower.
• Thick, crushed texture clings well to noodles, dumplings, and grilled foods.
• Easy to control: add a little at a time to fine-tune spiciness while cooking or at the table.
• A practical staple for quick flavour boosts in broths, sauces, and dips.
• Works well as a base to customise—mix with a splash of vinegar, soy sauce, or sesame oil to make your own chilli sauce.

🍽️ How to use

• Stir into Tom Yum–style soups or other brothy noodles for an instant spicy kick.
• Add to curry sauces (including Madras-style) to deepen heat without adding sweetness.
• Mix into a dipping sauce for dumplings, spring rolls, or fried tofu.
• Rub into marinades for grilled chicken, pork, or seafood, then balance with lime or vinegar at serving.
• Swirl into fried rice or stir-fried vegetables right at the end for a fresh chilli bite.
