This stuff is so good! I can't believe I hadn't tried it before. Adding it to recipes has made a big difference. Hard to find in the local stores, glad Amazon had it.I put this s*** on everything, sorry, a Frank's Red Hot joke. Seriously though it is a delicious base to any meal. I started only using it in Asian dishes but then I realized I could spice up my chili and give it another level of flavor. If you do not like spicy don't like spicy, then only us 3/4 of a teaspoon to make sure it's the flavor you're looking for. You could always add more. I generally use two good-sized tablespoons in a large pot for the whole family meal. I throw it in right after I sauteed my onions and bloomed the garlic and let it cook for a few minutes to start releasing some of the oils in it. I've even used it in a rub on different Meats. This chili paste, is in my opinion, the best on the market and can make any meal taste delicious and with a touch of spice. Enjoy!!!Nice and hot! It adds heat and spice to whatever you like. Just perfect for us! If you want only a touch of flavor, just use a small amount to start and adjust from there. I first bought it at a specialty store. It’s fabulous!I was worried as a regular Sriracha addict when I heard the fight in Irwindale, California between local residence and the Huy Fong Foods company, the makers of the wonderful hot sauce in their huge 650,000 square-feet building. In 2014 the Irwindale City Council voted to drop a public nuisance declaration and lawsuit - thank God.The company has a slogan which fits with my love of the sauce; "I put Sriracha on my Sriracha". Had I known about Huey Fong Sambal Oelek Chili Paste I would have switched my loyalty years ago. To me it has more flavor though it is hotter than the thinner Sriracha sauce. There is almost nothing I would not be tempted to use it for, starting with just about any boring food, of which there are too many to name. I am not sure I will ever buy Sriracha sauce and may find myself always using the paste instead.I have used it in soups, salad dressing, pasta dishes, omelet's, a little smear on a toasted cheese sandwich and just about anything else you can think of. I understand you can make your own chili paste but sometimes even an ardent cook can find a product that is as good or better than anything he could hope to do himself. This is one of those times.The smell of it hits you first!! The smell of this is pure heaven!! The taste is what hits next... Delicious.. Think chunky Siracha. Then the heat comes.... A bit more than a Siracha, but not too much... Awesome on anything you put on... Chunky slightly hotter Siracha is a perfect description, in my opinion... Absolutely try some! Even good as salsa with chips!!1st time trying this product. It’s got a punch for sure! Nice chili flavor and, for me, a little goes a long way so value for the money is very high. Side note: the product is packed in a plastic container so there’s no need to worry about a glass container breaking during shipping.The best ingredient for Anne Burrell's turkey burger recipe. I would recommend purchasing.I needed some Sambal Oelek for a crock-pot recipe to make a Korean barbecue dish, so I orded this product. It worked well and made a wonderful flavour similar to what one would expect to find at a Korean restaurant. It is very spicy and has a nice hot taste. A small ammount goes along way. There is no heavy smell in the food nor in the house with this chili paste. As the bottle has more than one needs to make a meal, we found many good uses for the chili paste including on eggs, with other stir fry meals and even to spice up tacos. Our bottle lasted a bit more than three months and being kept in the refrigerator the whole time it kept its flavour and spiciness. It does come in a plastic container, not glass
