hot-sauce Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce

[Edmick]

Anyone else addicted to this stuff? Made by the same company that makes the sriracha we all know but i think it's way better. I dump it on pretty much everything asian. Except my wife.. She probably wouldn't appreciate that..

It's one of my goto additives for raman. It's a fair sambal made from jalapenos.

I love it with ramen too. It's a little chunkier than it's sriracha cousin so it adds a slight amount of texture to dishes also. It seems spicier than sriracha too. Maybe i'm comparing apples to oranges but I only compare the two because the ingredients are similar and are both produced by the same company.

Yea the sambal oelek doesn't have garlic in it.

And thicker.

My wife and I are gonna take a tour of their facility. It's just a short drive from us. The city tried to shut them down a few years ago because residents downwind from the facility complained of burning eyes and respiratory issues on days that they did the chili grinding. lol

That is literally the same thing as the "garlic chili sauce" except without garlic. And garlic is a common thing to add to sambal. Did not claim was it was Oelek. Sambal just means "chili sauce" you could call their "Garlic chili sauce" sambal bawang, it technically means onion, but the peoper prep uses garlic. Since in Indonesian garlic is an oinion.
 
Each of the items Huy Fung sells is a "step in making sriracha"
Their Sambal Oelek is pretty much just their pepper mash.
The "Garlic Chili sauce" is the same mash, but with garlic added.
The Sriracha is the "Garlic Chili sauce" with sugar added, and blended into a thick sauce.

I know what sambal is
 
But you were talking about Huy Fong, and they literary call one sambal olek. The other one, not.

I use a crap ton that stuff. Trying to find it in larger sizes. Maybe like 1-5 gallon tubs

Walmart has a larger size. Not as big as the amazon one but it's a step up from the one in my picture.

 

[Edmick]

What I wanna know, is how does it not have any calories?!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Less than 5 per tsp. by law can be listed as zero. 

 

[Jubnat]

I don't think they realize that we're using much more than one tsp.

lol yup. On one regular sized plate of stir-fry I probably use about 5 or 6.  

 

[Voodoo 6]

I can sit there eating spoonfuls of that stuff, Its great!

Hmm, I can get it for half that unfortunately. The 18oz jars I get are $2.99 and @ 136oz = 7.5 jars x $2.99 = $22.59

 

[D3monic]

NVM here's the same size jar for almost what I pay https://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Chili-Garlic-Sauce/dp/B00TSK82DA/ref=pd_sim_325_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RSAY2A2N96DGZ2W2MH16&dpID=51q3eOuvTeL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

The sambal oelek is such a staple in my cooking, it's such a versatile condiment too. Has anyone had a go at recreating it? I'd like to make something similar but with some hotter chillies.
