Sambal Oelek

The plain Indonesian chile paste: fresh red chiles ground coarse with salt, sharpened with a little vinegar. No garlic, no shallot, just heat and fruit.

Beef Rendang

Beef simmered for hours in coconut milk with a lemongrass and galangal spice paste until the liquid cooks away and the meat fries in the separated oil, turning dark, dry, and intensely spiced.
