Ok, I guess this is something most Malaysians will find it hard to live without especially my dear husband who loves chilli and sambal a lot....
Since I bought the ingredients, why not make something...
While making it, hubby and dear daughter complain that the house stinks and I basically sin so much, I killed almost 50 or more flies that day (attracted by the belacan.. kekekekeke)
Ingredients:
- 1 cube of Jeeny's belacan, crushed them while they are still in the packet, though it was stated that it is roasted, I still roast it on the pan without any oil for another 2-3mins.
- 3 big size shallots
- 5 cloves of garlic
- a big handful of dried chillies (from the Asian grocers)
- 2 fresh red chillies
- 3 super spicy small red chillies (that's how Woolies labelled it)
- a small pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of tamarind puree
- some oil
- lime juice (to be added when u want to serve only)
Methods:
- Roast the belacan on a dry pan with no oil, medium fire for about 2-3mins.
- Soaked the dried chillies.
- Removed seeds from all the chillies (some left is ok).
- Since I wanted more flavor out of the sambal, I pounded the first 6 items first. And I dont have that much of energy to do it till they are super fine, I transferred all the ingredients into the magi mix. Include the rest of the ingredients except the lime juice. Blend till fine.
- Heat up the oil, saute the mixture till they are fragant and dry. This should takes at least 15mins on low to medium fire.
- Cool and keep in air tight container/jar. Served with lime juice.
