I pound the belachan, dried shrimp, shallots, garlic and chilli, quick stir in oil, throw in the okra and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, then pour in tamarind juice and a little sugar. Excellent! Sweet, sour and spicy! Will love to try with ikan billis.

You can skip the shrimp and make the dish completely vegetarian.

Dear Rasa Malaysia,

Your recipes are good but it seems you have used Shrimp in most of your vegetable recipes . In Bangladesh , we also use medium size shrimps or very small shrimps in Vegetable stir fry or veg.curry . It is also very good taste . As you may know that Shrimp has itself a very good taste . Whatever you add with Shrimp it will teste good. It is proved . But, sometimes eating too much Shrimps are not good for heart specially after 35 age . Also, adding Shrimps with vegetables sometimes expensive also . So, I wish if you can provide some Vegetable recipes or Chinese vegetables recipes without using Shrimps.

Thanks
Susmita

[...] geheel, gehalveerd of in stukjes/schijfjes) lekker in stoofgerechten of op zichzelf als bijgerecht. Roerbakken, stoven, frituren, alles kan. Okra kan in principe rauw (in schijfjes in een salade) gegeten [...]

Thanks for the recipe. I love Okra and at times am at loss of what else to do besides dipping them in hot broth for hot pot or stew them in Indian curry.

Ok, I came in here a wee bit too late. lol. What I do is I pound the Heh-bee with the pestle and mortar and smash it to tiny bits and pieces. By doing so, you are letting out the juices of the heh-bee. Once done, you put the sambal belacan and mix it together with the heh-bee.
Wah very sedap I tell you. Slurp. Hungry lah
