Speaking of belacan, my friend called me so early in the morning today and asked me if I could make some homemade Penang Sambal Belacan for the event cause he thought it would go well with his dish. So I quickly went to buy some fresh red chilies at Jusco (nearest option) and made it for him. So today's recipe is a simple but treasured one... hope you guys enjoy it too.
Ingredients
10 fresh Red ChilliesRed Chillies

2 tsp Belacan (Shrimp Paste)
1 tsp Lime Juice
Directions
1. Pound the fresh red chillies.
2. Add in Belacan (shrimp paste) and just continue Pounding to mix.
3. Stir in the Lime Juice and serve.
Note: Notice the word 'Pound'? Cause thats the best way to make it instead of a blender.

Post a CommentHi there
I was searching the net for a sambal to add to Mee Goreng. Our local Malaysian foodcourts add the belacan as I can taste the shrimp paste but the dish is also spicy and I suspect it is a sambal like this one that they are adding. Have you heard of this being added or have I got the wrong idea.
Cheers
