She actually triggered me to search and try for the best recipe and the correct amount of ingredients to make Shrimp Paste 'Sambal' (The signature food for Malaysian Cuisine)
INGREDIENTS:
25 to 30 Bird's eye chili (a mix of red and green)
1 thumb-sized belacan
1/2 tsp sugar
25 to 30 Bird's eye chili (a mix of red and green)
1 thumb-sized belacan
1/2 tsp sugar
salt
METHOD:
Pound and grind down all the ingredients until you get a rough paste. This makes about half a cup of basic sambal belacan.
PRO-TIPS:
1. For an added kick, mix 1 tbsp of sambal belacan with the juice of 1 kalamansi lime and 1.4 tsp of finely sliced lime skin.
2. Goes like a dream with salted fish,hot rice and fried fish.

For the best result, we used 'lesung batu' instead of blender.
