## Customer Reviews

    So so good!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2014*

So I bought this on a whim from my local TJs and it is so incredibly good that I had to come here to review it. First, it's called a salsa, but since it's in oil, I don't really think of it as something you can dip chips in, like the jar says. Just too rich. But a nice slice of bread is good. It is spicy. It has a wonderful roasted pepper and garlic that lends a sweetness that pairs incredible well with the light citrus and almost perfumed tang of the lemon grass. I have had it a few ways: I've mixed it with mayo, which cuts some of the heat, and spread it on toasted bread with leftover shredded turkey. I've also used it as a topping for a soft fried egg. Run a piece of buttered toast through the yolk and the combination is over the top. Don't forget a light sprinkle of salt! The last way I tried was paired with cream cheese and crackers. I just mixed a little of one and a little of another. Going to try it on a bagel next. Seriously, buy a jar of this. You will be finding foods to put it on just to have that spicy, tangy, I can't stop eating it bite!

    Sambal Matah makes an awesome marinade!
  

*by B***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2015*

We picked this up at our local Trader Joe's because it sounded interesting (and I LOVE lemongrass). The other reviewers are right... it is a bit oily as is for dipping with chips. I recommend that you drain off some of the oil when using it for that purpose (save that oil for cooking or seasoning! It's too good to waste). I do like it with chips or veggies once the oil is drained off.But where this "salsa" REALLY shines is as a marinade! We had some chicken pieces we wanted to cook up last night, so I decided to experiment marinating them with the Sambal Matah. I added some tamari and chili garlic sauce (we like spicy!) to the mix, generously coated the chicken and let it sit for a little bit, then baked it up with some veggies. It was SO GOOD! As they baked, the chicken and veggies released a lot of water, which resulted in a delicious sauce. It made me wish that I had made rice last night to soak it up... next time. We did save the sauce, however... we'll use that with something else tonight :)It's a little pricey here on Amazon, so I'd check for it in your local Trader Joe's first. But if you don't have a TJ nearby, at least it's available on Amazon!

    Yum. Yum. Yum!

Yes it is quite spicy- if you are sensitive, use it sparingly, like Tabasco or other hot sauce. Yes, there is quite a bit of oil- when I open a jar, I pour out the excess on top, repeat as necessary.As per other reviews, it's great on eggs; in sandwiches with or without other spreads; in soup; I've even added it to salad dressing for a nice kick.
