Customized Sambal Prawn

Sambal prawn paste and sambal belacan paste is something that is readily available in Shanghai. Something which I can easily purchase from Parkson. But here in Beijing, it's not that foreign friendly. Maybe not many Malaysians over here. Parkson Beijing did not sell these stuffs.

In a desperate attempt to cook sambal prawns, I bought whatever southeast asian paste that I could find in the foreigner section. I bought the Singapore fried meehoon paste instead.


I was working from home today and decided to try out the new paste. I added some cili padi to the taste while stir frying the onions with the paste before adding in the prawns.

It turns out pretty well. The taste is good... not bad at all.


Seems like I can workaround my environment and customized my sambal prawn. I will be in Shanghai in November and I will make sure I stock up some Malaysia cooking paste.

The other 2 dishes was choy sum and pork with bell peppers. Just simple dishes. :)
