Recipe Note
Note: Sambal oelek, from Indonesia, is made from chopped chillies and vinegar with no other flavourings added. It has a high heat rating, and is available in jars in Asia grocery stores and some supermarkets. Once opened, sambal oelek will keep stored in the fridge indefinately. Make sure that you buy a good quality one.
