Sambal Belacan

Sambal Belacan is a must have condiment for almost all Peranakan dishes. Mix with rice and the dish rises to a whole new level of heavenly shiokness. It also goes well with other local cuisines. Make it yourself and store them in bottles. They can be kept in the freezer for months. Just leave one bottle in the fridge for daily use and store the rest in the freezer.
