      Hi - that’s Sambal Oelek indeed! We have it listed as Huy Fong - Ground Fresh Chili Paste (8 oz) & Huy Fong - Ground Fresh Chili Paste (18 oz) for the 2 different sizes.

      I’ll also post the direct links to the items as a separate post below in case links get flagged.

      Hope this helps!

      Best,
      Rish
