Understand this sambal
The richest sambal in the collection: a luxurious red-chilli recipe built around creamy candlenut, aromatic garlic and red onion.
It begins savoury and nutty, then opens into garlic and red chilli. The heat builds gradually and lingers, wrapped in the buttery character of finely crushed candlenut.
Naturally thick and clingy rather than loose. Candlenut creates a rich emulsion that coats rice, vegetables and proteins without dairy or artificial thickeners.
Choose Gepuk when you want body and richness, not only heat. Its candlenut character makes it the collection’s most indulgent, sauce-like sambal.
Spoon over roast chicken, lamb, portobello mushrooms or grain bowls. Its thick texture also works beautifully as a sandwich spread or marinade base.
Serving ideas
