Homemade Sambal Belacan

Fuyooh......


Hello~everyone! Long time no news from me right? haha.. Yes, so sorry to keep you all waiting and I found out my last blog post was on July 2016. In these 2 years I was very busy with my personal life and it was a very long story. So, forget about the story and let me start with my Homemade Sambal Belacan.

I was always impressed by my Malay friends that are very clever in making sambal. Many years ago, when I started to enter my kitchen I told my self one day I will make my own Sambal Belacan and cook my own Nasi Lemak.


Initially, I thought that you need to be keep stirring the Sambal while standing over the stove for a few hours with all the thick red oil splashing everywhere. OMG! I would really give up. But hor.... now with my TM helper, hai~ya anytime, anywhere also I can cook it with no fuss.

The recipe of the Sambal was always in my 'to do list' so finally I can show it off now. Sounds great right haha~ Come and let me show you..

(Note : Technically, Sambal recipes are mostly using the same ingredients, what stands out is just the amount of  each ingredient is different)
