Kangkung Belacan
Sorry about yesterday as I was so so busy and in a rush yet I need to put up this blog for the sake of blogging. Here I am today, posting the recipe.
Ingredients:
Kangkung aka water spinach in English.
To be pound together i.e. A fresh chili, 6 shallots, 2 tablespoons of heh bee (dry prawn) and a teaspoon of belacan (prawn paste).
I would prefer to use the traditional stone to hand pound my ingredients. The problem with a electric blender/chopper is the hassle of washing and cleaning up the equipment as this is only a very small amount of ingredients and I don’t think the blades can reach the bottom of the chili which will later on gave a very rough texture of chili paste.
Method:
Heat 1/3 cup of oil in the wok and fry the pounded ingredients till they turn fragrants and crispy. At this moment, the dry prawn will start to prick in the air. Add in water spinach and small amount of water. Remember no to overcook your vege. Most important thing is cook them in a big fire. You may add fresh prawns for added kick.
