Hi Krishna,
The basic recipe for Sambal Olek (Oelek, Ulek) is just chilies,
vinegar, and salt. There are some that even omit the vinegar and are
just chilies and salt. This chili paste is made a variety of ways.
See below for recipes.
Phaed
Sambal Ulek
25 Chillies
White vinegar (see method)
2 teaspoons Salt
Directions:
Wash the chillies, then just remove the stalks, but not the seeds.
Put the whole chillies into the jar of a blender, add about 1/2
tablespoon of vinegar then blend. (Warning, don't lift the lid
straight off the blender jar and look in - you could get a major
hit of chilli fumes! Let it settle before opening the lid, carefully.)
If the chilli paste is too thick and chunky, add a little more vinegar,
then blend again: it should become a smooth paste. Then stir in the
salt. Keep the finished chilli paste in a sterilised jar in the fridge,
ready to use whenever chillies are needed in a recipe. This is an
Indonesian style chilli paste, a great way to keep excess chillies
you've harvested.

1/2 c finely chopped fresh hot chilies
2 Tb fresh lime juice
1/2 ts salt
2 Tb sesame oil
Preparing:
Combine everything in a blender and blend
----------------------------
Sambal Oelek Recipe
Makes a hot and fiery chile sauce that can be used both as a
condiment and in cooking.
4 ounces fresh red chilies, chopped
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon vegan sugar (or granulated sugar; to taste)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
Place ingredients into a blender and pulse until chiles are
finely chopped but not pureed.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Store in a sealed container under refrigeration until needed.

Sambal Oelek
Yield: 1 Servings
Ingredients
200 g small red chillies
1 c water
1 ts salt
1 ts sugar
1 tb vinegar
1 tb oil
Instructions
1. Remove stalks from chillies, chop chillies roughly. Combine in
a pan with water, bring to the boil . Reduce heat to low, cover,
simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Pour chiles into a food processor, add salt, sugar, vinegar and
oil, blend until finely chopped.
Store Sambal Oelek in small glass jar (with a non metallic lid) in
the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Note : Use Sambal Oelek as a fiery accompaniment or add to recipes
where chillies are required.
Hint : Wear rubber or cotton gloves when handling chillies to avoid
any contact with your skin. Kitchen scissors or knife can be used to
cut the chillies. The seeds are the hottest part of the chilli-they
may be discarded, depending on your taste.

Sambal Oelek
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
250 g (8 oz) fresh red chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soft brown sugar
Jars of sambal can be bought in many Oriental shops and in some
delicatessens, but it is quite easy to make your own, especially
with a food processor. This is the most basic sambal. To make
other sambals, ingredients such as trassi or blachan, a firm
paste made of rotted shrimp, and candlenuts are added to the
mix.
Heat a heavy frying pan and put in the chilies after 2-3 minutes.
Dry roast over a medium heat for a few minutes. Cool, then chop
finely and pound to a paste with the salt and sugar. The chili
seeds may be taken out, or left in if you want a really fiery
relish. The sambal will keep for a week or so in a jar in the
refrigerator.

Sambal baloo
Yield: 15 Deciliter
Ingredients:
1 3/16 kg Thai Dragon chile - fresh
5 Garlics
3 dl Apple cider Vinegar
4 tb Salt
4 tb Cumin - ground
2 tb Coriander seeds - ground
Instructions:
(Thai Dragon is a small very hot chile pepper from Thailand.) Remove
stems from the peppers and peel the garlic cloves. Put all ingredients
in a food processor (using the steel blade) and mix 3 - 4 minutes.
Boil 10 minutes and put in sterilised jars. This makes a sambal that
is much hotter than the usual Sambal Olek you can find in Asian stores.
Use it when making hot Oriental food. Wash your hands with 80% alcohol
after you handled the peppers! Don't touch your eyes or your private
parts before you have washed your hands with alcohol! It will burn for
hours. From the kitchen of Baloo.
Somebody told me you might like this recipe; I searched through your
archives and didn't see it. This recipe comes out of the Battle Creek
Enquirer; I only have a clipping to work from so I can't tell you the
date, but I assume it's more than a few years old (it's from no earlier
than 1988). Here's the transcript:
Mrs. Knapp's Secret Cole Slaw
1+1/2 cups salad dressing (not mayonnaise)
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon granulated sugar
1+1/2 pounds finely shredded cabbage
3/4 cup finely chopped carrots
3 tablespoons finely chopped onions
Blend salad dressing, mustard, salt and sugar thoroughly with a wire
whip and refrigerate until ready to add to salad. Pour dressing over
vegetables and mix until creamy and evenly blended. Refrigerate.
Makes 8 servings.
