condiment Trader Joe's Sambal Matah Indonesian Salsa

I got this maybe a month ago and I absolutely loved it. I wouldn't call it a salsa for chips, boy does it have a great taste. It reminds me of chinese chilis in oil because well...it's chilis in sunflower oil, which I really like because that's a bit healthier. That aside, you get a great citrus taste from the lemon grass and a good hint of garlic. Texturally wise there is a nice bite or crunchiness to the sambal. I really enjoy mixing in a couple of tbs with some quinoa or with some udon noodles. The quinoa soaks up the flavors from the oil really well. Heat wise, it leaves a nice warm mouth but nothing i'd say is too hot. my dad thinks it's inedibly hot but he's a baby. Here's some pictures.
