Sambal Oelek

Sambal Oelek is a traditional Indonesian chili sauce made primarily from ground chili peppers, vinegar, salt, and sometimes shrimp paste or garlic. Its origins trace back to the Indonesian archipelago, where it has been a staple condiment for centuries. The sauce boasts a robust, pungent heat with a bright, tangy undertone from the vinegar, and a subtle complexity from any shrimp paste used. Its texture is coarse and chunky, offering a satisfying mouthfeel that is neither smooth nor overly thick. In cooking, Sambal Oelek is versatile, adding a fiery kick to dishes without overwhelming other flavors. It can be used as a direct condiment or incorporated into recipes to enhance their spiciness and depth.

Champagne Vinegar

Champagne vinegar is a mild, slightly sweet vinegar made from fermented champagne or white wine. Its delicate flavor and bright acidity make it a popular choice for dressings, marinades, and deglazing.
