Professional chef explains the science behind perfect stir-fry seasoning

High Heat Stability

Unlike sugar-based sauces (like sriracha), sambal won't burn or turn bitter at the high temperatures needed for proper stir-frying.

Chef Tip: Sambal's pure chili base maintains flavor integrity even at 200°C+

Pure Chili Flavor

No added sugar or thickeners means the chili flavor penetrates ingredients without masking their natural taste.

Result: Each ingredient tastes like itself, just with perfect heat

Professional Consistency

Made in professional catering kitchen with precise techniques - every batch delivers the same reliable heat and flavor.

Guarantee: Restaurant-quality results every time

How to Use Sambalin Your Stir-Fries

Chef Yossie's professional technique for perfect results

The Professional Method:

1

Heat Your Wok/Pan First

Get your pan smoking hot before adding oil. This is crucial for proper stir-frying.

2

Add Sambal Early

Add 1-2 teaspoons of sambal right after your aromatics (garlic, ginger). Let it bloom for 30 seconds.

3

Add Proteins & Vegetables

The sambal will coat everything evenly, creating a beautiful red color and even heat distribution.

4

Finish & Taste

Add a splash of soy sauce or oyster sauce. Taste and adjust - you can always add more sambal!

Chef Yossie's Pro Tip:

"Start with less than you think you need. Sambal's heat builds as it cooks, and you can always add more. The goal is balanced heat that enhances, not overwhelms."
