Once you’ve tried it, we know you’ll come to treasure this dynamite three-ingredient Oriental sauce – a beautiful contrast to the mild chicken it enhances.

Chatelaine tip

Sambal oelek is a paste made from fresh chilies, vinegar and salt. It is featured in Indonesian cooking much like our North American hot sauces such as Tabasco. However, sambal oelek is much hotter. Look for it in the Oriental section of grocery stores as well as in Chinese markets.
