Home » Reader question » Reader question: Address in Thailand where you can order Sambal?
Dear readers,
Some time ago I read a post about Indian food. Creative culinary artists had alternatives for sweet soy sauce and sambal. There was also an address where you can order sambals. Unfortunately I can't find it. can someone help me? Thanks for that.
It gave me an idea if someone has the time, sense and creativity to develop a cooking blog. As a Dutchman who has been here for a long time, you sometimes feel like eating Dutch food. Nowadays there is a lot to get here but there are gifted cooks who know substitutions. I love Thai food but variety keeps the taste in food.
Sincerely,
Louis
off spices! has four types of sambal and two types of sweet soy sauce. These are sold at Say Cheese in Hua Hin and at The Green Parrot in Bangkok, among others. For more info and online sales in Thailand: http://www.martienfoods.com
just consult AH recipes.
I can remember that article, but an alternative to sambal was mentioned, namely Chili garlic sauce from the Lee kum kee brand, it would taste about the same as sambal, haven't tried it yet!!!
This is correct and the taste is almost as good available at the larger Tesco's, usually with the herbs or fish sauces.
Yes this one is fine, I thought it was a good tip, for sale at Big C and RP
Hi Louis,
Organic sambals and sweet soy sauce are indeed for sale in Thailand.
Can be ordered via http://www.martienfoods.com .
Online - by mail or pick up from one of the resellers.
Alternative for sweet soy sauce is: Sê-euw or something like that.
I make sweet soy sauce myself.
100 ml light soy
50 gr. palm sugar
2 slices of fresh ginger
1 garlic clove
1/2 red pepper
1 star anise, cook all this until it boils down slightly
store in the refrigerator because it contains no preservatives.
In the end this is only a small amount, of course for more just multiply
Make your own sambal. The ingredients are abundant in Thailand.
Dear Leen, a cooking blog for cooking, why? I have lived here for 7 years and mainly eat European (Dutch food), I find cooking a fun activity, and almost everything is for sale here, both on the markets and in the shopping centers, and if I ever want to prepare a recipe in a different way , now do a Google search, and you will certainly find various ways and recipes,
And be amazed every now and then, how a certain dish can be prepared in different ways, and find cooking is becoming more and more fun, just bought an oven, and now also baking such as apple pie / cake / sauce sandwiches, and cream puffs.
And my wife and the family love it, so borrow good luck.
Dear Louis,
If you are a little creative you can make the tastiest sambals yourself, it is very simple.
Thailand has all the ingredients for it.
Buy them yourself sometimes in a toko in the Netherlands, different types of sambal.
In Udon Thani I also bought a jar of sambal in a small shop, you have to look closely
I looked at the label and it was only by chance that I found it.
Good luck,
Lion.
Yes, at OK supermarket (Dutch) in Cha-am.
Sambal ajam, oelek etc.
Samal ? Many chili peppers, which are used to make sambal in the Netherlands, come from Thailand, see http://www.smitfood.com Add herbs, etc., which are present in excess in TH, and you can also adjust this to your own wishes.
Hello Louise,
Sambal oelek is very easy to make, but I thought it was a dog job.
Cleaning a bale of chillies and then also removing the seed and seed lists from a fair number to prevent your esophagus from spontaneously burning away.
Plenty of recipes on the internet.
And that sambal that you can buy here has a completely different taste than the delicious oelek
I made 2 different oeleks and they were delicious.
1 that you could put in a pot when you were done with it and one that I had to put in a pan and bake or something like that.
But friends of ours regularly went to Indonesia and always had room in the suitcase.
So they always came with boxes of sambal for us.
But now this week I received an address where this chef also makes sambal oelek.
[email protected]
I haven't tasted it yet, so can't comment on that.
Good luck and bon appetit.

I'm half indo myself and live in Norway where we don't have indo tokos, so I take different herbs with me when I stay in Holland for a few days (I'm Dutch)
Including of course sambal and before a week ago my last jar of sambal was empty 🙁
I happened to go out for dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant (we have 5 pieces of this) and there was a jar of sambal on the table, the BEST sambal I've ever eaten.
I took a picture of the jar of sambal and immediately got hold of it at an Asian store.
It was very remarkable that the jar says the Vietnamese language, but when I looked closer it says “product of Thailand”!!!!!! There is. Made by Siam Worakit food import/export, Bangkhuntien, Bangkok. The sambal is described as Double Seahorse Ground chilli garlic in oil.
Once again the best sambal I've ever tasted. Should be for sale everywhere in Thailand I think.
Can send a picture if anyone is interested.
