		<description><![CDATA[Following my recent post on sambal asparagus, I thought I would show you how to make sambal belacan from scratch&#8211;a must-have Malaysian condiment and the basic building block for many delicious Malaysian recipes. Sambal belacan consists of chilies, belacan (Malaysian shrimp paste), kalamansi lime (limau kasturi), and salt and sugar (to taste or optional). In the US, kalamansi lime is scarce so lime can be used as a substitute. However, in reality, kalamansi lime is made for sambal and lime is inferior when it comes to sambal belacan. So, if you have access to kalamansi lime, please use it, or if you have some, please give them to me. Sambal belacan as a condiment is something that I can&#8217;t do without. I eat my rice and noodles with it, and some Malaysian dishes such as my favorite sweet and sour eggs (masak belanda), Penang char hor fun, grilled fish with banana leaves are total awesomeness with sambal belacan. Anyway, learn how to make sambal belacan with my recipe below and click on the gallery above to learn the step-by-step guide. (Click Page 2 for the Sambal Belacan Recipe)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do eat vegetables and other foods. I really do. I just don&#8217;t post them that much on this blog (which I intend to change soon) because seafood dishes are a lot more photogenic than, say, tofu, beans, turnip, chicken with skin and bones. I am partial to seafood, but I also love my greens, poultry/pork, eggs, soy products, and other foodstuff. One vegetable dish that I simply can&#8217;t do without in my cooking repertoire is a signature Malaysian dish called kangkung belacan or stir-fried water spinach/morning glory with shrimp paste, even though it means that I have a stinky house! The key ingredient is none other than belacan, the Malaysian variety of shrimp paste. (Shrimp paste is an essential flavoring medium in Southeast Asian cooking.) Strong, pungent, yet aromatic at the same time, the pairing of belacan with vegetables is probably one of the most interesting stir-frying techniques for vegetables. The taste is bold, exquisite, and never boring&#8230; For today&#8217;s creation, I used yam leaf/sweet potato leaf (蕃薯叶), which works as well as water spinach. While it might seem or look simple, perfect execution is not easy. Wok hei (the breath of the wok) and timing are exceedingly important; a little too much wok hei or a tad too long in the wok can render the dish a complete failure, for example: burned belacan that tastes bitter or overcooked vegetables that look purple-ish in color. While I love this recipe, I must warn you that it&#8217;s an acquired taste, especially for an American palate. However, it&#8217;s well worth a try because you probably can&#8217;t find another vegetable dish as intriguing or delicious as this one! Other signature Malaysian recipes\ can be found here.
