Sambal Oelek, Sambal Badjak, Sambal Tomat, Sambal Kemiri, Sambal Kecap, 
Sambal Saus, Trassi/Belachan Sambal, and variations are all taste treats of 
chiles w/other ingredients as a sauce/Sambal.  

Some are available at Oriental markets, but all are easy to make!  They're as 
hot as you want determined by how many chiles you use.  I keep the Sambal 
Oelek on hand at all times as a quick fix for stir fries.  The Sambal Kemiri 
is my favorite!  Kemiri/Candlenuts w/garlic and chilies.  Candlenuts are hard 
to describe, they have a unique flavor and are an important ingredient in 
Indonesian cuisine.  Sambal Badjak isn't all that hot and is loaded w/onions 
and garlic and is black!  Trassi/Belachan is also used in Thai cuisine and 
known as Kapi (shrimp paste).

Probably more than anyone one wanted to know. <g> Just the hots from another 
land.
