Notes
To store sambal oelek, transfer it to a clean, airtight container. Ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering. Store it in the refrigerator at a consistent temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below. This will help maintain its freshness and quality for an extended period.
