Huy Fong Sambal Oelek is a coarse-ground chili paste: red chili, vinegar, salt. No garlic, no sugar. Line cooks, sous chefs, and catering leads across Canada reach for it when they need clean, sharp heat that won't muddy a dish. When you're building 40 litres of pho broth at 6 a.m. and the chili flavour has to stay bright through the lunch rush, this is the jar that holds its character. It's the base for plenty of wing sauces, banh mi spreads, and stir-fry pastes.
Huy Fong 8.5 lb. Sambal Oelek Fresh Ground Chili Paste (3 Pack): Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
This is the food service format of a paste most Vietnamese and Thai kitchens already know by sight. The fresh ground chili gives it a thick, coarse texture that clings to protein and vegetables, while the vinegar and salt add a slight tang that keeps dishes from tasting flat. With no garlic and no sugar, it layers into recipes without fighting the other flavours. When your wing program needs the same heat level across 200 covers a night, that's what you're paying for.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"We ship this 3-pack to a Calgary pho house that goes through two cases a month. The fresh ground chili holds up in broth without turning bitter. I'd keep one jar in the walk-in and two in dry storage. For catering events, we've seen 8.5 lb cover 300 banh mi easily."
The 3-pack suits kitchens that run a steady volume of spicy items without wanting to reorder every week. Chefs use it as the backbone for house wing sauces, and it works just as well whisked into a marinade for grilled chicken or pork. Catering companies like it because one case covers a large event menu with room to spare. If you're building a spicy menu section and don't want to stock five different chili products, this single paste handles most of it. It's part of our food service range, and we keep it moving year-round across Canada.
