Sambal Oelek (No Sugar Added)
Sambal Oelek (No Sugar Added) is a spicy Southeast Asian chili paste used across Indonesian, Malaysian and other regional cuisines as a condiment, marinade or cooking base; it is known for its bright heat, tang and umami from ingredients like chilies, vinegar, shrimp paste or garlic. In addition to adding strong flavor, Sambal Oelek (No Sugar Added) is a notable source of vitamin C (110mg per 100g), reflecting the fresh chili content. While it delivers antioxidants such as carotenoids from red chilies, be aware that many prepared versions are relatively high in salt, so lower-sodium or homemade variants are a good option if you want the flavor with less sodium.
