We all have those days when we are too tired to cook anything for dinner after a long day.

But before we choose to cook instant noodles, have you thought about eating leftover rice with some spicy condiments?

Be it sambal or spicy tofu, there is something very satisfying about indulging in a simple meal with these condiments, especially when you pair them with a (deep) fried egg.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can even cook a fish or chicken dish with some of these condiments as toppings or use them in a marinade.

Here are the seven best spicy condiments that we think will go well with simple meals:

1. Sambaleena's Sambal Ijo

You know the normal red paste sambal found everywhere in Malaysia. But have you tried green chilli sambal?

Sambaleena's Sambal Ijo is made with their grandmother's recipe that has been passed down since 1962.

The green paste is made with onion, anchovies, green chilli, sugar, and salt... familiar ingredients but it's a taste you will be obsessed with.

Some people pour the sambal over fried chicken and instantly turn it into a gourmet meal.

You can get it on their websiteShopeeLazada, or WhatsApp. Visit their Instagram for more information.

2. Chilibits' Thai Chili Bites

Want something crunchy and spicy? Chilibits Thai Chili Snack will be your new favourite.

Available in four flavours — original, tom yam, wing zab, and larb — the Thailand-imported goodies are not as spicy as the actual chillies.

"The flavour and chrips beat your average chips and snacks at convenience stores," they said.

"It's best eaten with almost anything. Have it with rice, instant noodles, salad, or even at outings as a replacement to heaty peanuts when having drinks or yamcha with friends."

You can get it on Shopee or Lazada. Visit their Instagram for more information.

3. Mama Manta's Sambal Ikan Bakar & Sambal Goreng

Mama Manta's Sambal Goreng and Sambal Ikan Bakar are the classic sambals you would normally pair with your food in a kopitiam.

Mama Manta is an ikan bakar hawker stall at Sun Hin Loong in SS2, Petaling Jaya that has been operating since 2002.

During the pandemic, they started selling their sambal online after being affected by lockdowns. You know they make lip-smacking sambal when even myBurgerLab collaborated with them to introduce Flamin Hot Sambal Burger series in May 2021.

You can get it on Shopee. Visit their Instagram for more information.

4. Khairul Amin's Sambal Nyet Berapi

How can we have a list of spicy condiments without mentioning Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman's Sambal Nyet Berapi?

Those who know Khairul would know that he is a popular food content creator with over 3.4 million followers on Instagram.

As of 2 March, he said he has sold a total of 621,800 bottles of Sambal Nyet Berapa since it was launched in January 2021. He was also lauded for opening up a RM1 million factory in his hometown of Kota Bharu, Kelantan to uplift the local economy.

On Shopee, it says the ready-to-eat sambal is great to eat with white rice or pair it with eggs, and fried fish or chicken, among other dishes.

The product has over 237,000 five-star reviews, many of which said it is the perfect sambal for those who can really take spicy food.

You can get it on Shopee. Visit their Instagram for more information.

5. Heng's Original Crispy Korean Seaweed Chilli

Another unique condiment on the list is Heng's Crispy Korean Seaweed Chilli.

Just by the name itself has got us salivating. The simple fried seaweed soaked in chilli oil mixture gives a spicy kick and crunchy texture to every dish you eat it with.

Other than pairing with noodles or rice, some even attest that it goes well with tuna sandwiches. All in all, it is hard to go wrong with a seaweed and chilli combo.

You can get it on Shopee and Lazada. Visit their Instagram for more information.

6. SiChuan Bean Curd With Chili & Sesame Oil

Tofu in a ready-to-eat form sounds like music to our ears. What more can we ask for when it is soaked in mala-like flavours?

SiChuan Bean Curd With Chili & Sesame Oil is a Taiwan-made condiment that is widely available in many grocery stores.

It deserves a spot on this list because many Malaysians grow up eating the spicy tofu every time they have porridge.

But the vegetarian condiment is more than a side dish for porridge. When the spicy tofu is eaten with fried egg, it becomes a pair made in heaven.

You can get it on Shopee, Lazada, and many more online grocery websites.

7. V-Like Vege Food's Vegetarian Belacan Dried Shrimps

Ending the list is V-Like Vege Food's Vegetarian Belacan Dried Shrimps.

But do not be fooled because it is vegetarian. The crunchy bits are made from homemade soybean fibre to mimic the real shrimp and they are fried with chilli, sesame, and other seasonings to create the perfect topping for fried rice, porridge, and noodles.

According to its Facebook page, it can be even cooked with kangkung to create the Malaysian staple kangkung belacan.

You can get it on Shopee. Visit their Facebook for more information.

Meanwhile, this small business sells homemade pastes of many Nyonya Peranakan dishes:

If you are feeling more adventurous, here are some simple recipes suited for a quick bite:
