I'd never heard of "sambal", so I looked it up at www.epicurious.com:

"[SAHM-bahl]
Popular throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and southern India, a sambal
is a multipurpose CONDIMENT. Its most basic form is sambal oelek, a
simple mixture of CHILES, brown sugar and salt. Another popular blend
is sambal bajak (or badjak ), which adds CANDLENUTS, garlic, KAFFIR
LIME LEAVES, onion, TRASSI, GALANGAL, TAMARIND concentrate and COCONUT
MILK. Sambals have a multitude of variations, however, depending on
the ingredients added, which can include coconut, meat, seafood or
vegetables. Sambals are usually served as an accompaniment to rice and
curried dishes, either as a condiment or as a side dish. Sambal oelek
and bajak, as well as some variations, can be found in Indonesian and
some Chinese markets."

So do you use sambal oelek? Anyway, it sounds good... :-)
