Shrimp paste is used in the Burmese cuisine too.. very similar to balacan , just a bit softer and saltier. Thanks for letting others know how delicious it is!
The place I grew up produced the same kind of shrimp paste from Malaysia. A family friend gave me two whole big blocks and kept them in the freezer since 2017.
I never knew we're suppose to boil the green beans before stir frying. Thank you for showing us. Brings back memories of dishes my mom use eat and cook. She use to stir fry beans with a block of fermented bean curd from those jars. She also use to buy liquid shrimp paste in a jar from the store/Asian market to stir fry squid. We definitely have to turn the overhead fan/vent on high and open the windows because the whole house would smell...even the neighbors could smell it..lol. My favorite dish with shrimp paste dish is Ong Choy (aka water spinach).
So does this paste taste of shrimp or is it just an umami flavor? I'm not a fan of fishy things or any meat from water but i do use anchovies in dressing & things.
Yum love shrimp paste , I used the Chinese one in the jar it’s also pretty smelly 😅l wanted to see if I could find the one you’re using. The more pungent the better 😋 my husband is going to love this 😅😅😅😅hehe
Hey 👋🏽 it looks yummy 😋 never had it, but would love to try this one day,thank you for sharing this with us ❤blessings 🙏🏼from Diana n Jose Vasquez 👋🏽😘❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Of course you can but it won't be the same. Fish sauce is very salty and tastes a little of fish. Belacan tastes predominantly of shrimp - that's what we want, that's what it is all about.
"Terasai" from Indonesia - even better! Thailand has something called "Kapi" which I have seen used a lot among the Hmong though I haven't used it yet. The smallest amount I have seen comes in 200g containers.
You forgot the coconut milk and please next time use Ketjap Manis instead of light soya sauce. Belacan is called Trassie Udang in Indonesia., fermented shrimp. You can also buy this as a powder, which is easyer to administer. By the way it is an Indonesian dish and not Malaysian. The Dutch introduced the green beans in Indonesia and they call it SAMBAL GORENG BUNCIS (The Dutch word is BOONTJES)
Oh pungent shrimp paste! Why so delicious? 😆 Happy Sunday! 💕

"pungent" -- so you're saying Dude brought the funk to your marriage
Love your new hair-do, Flo!
Those look so good!!!
I would like to get back to eating plants based. So many recipes 🤩
This looks delish!
Is there a wrong way to have saute green beans? I don't think so. God bless you Flo.

If you want it more pungent, get the Indonesian 'Terasi'! I use that instead of Belacan though I have both in my kitchen.
Is a rain shed a hood fan?
I am looking for the belacan next time I get a chance!
Thanks always Flo & Dude 🙏🌞🙋🏼♀️
LOL… he said range hood.
Like the fan over your stove that sucks the air out above your cooking!
Cook them outside. My family eats a lot of cabbage and saurkraut. We cook it out side so the smell won't linger in the house.
Good idea!

Can you substitute fish sauce for the belacan?
Of course you can but it won't be the same. Fish sauce is very salty and tastes a little of fish. Belacan tastes predominantly of shrimp - that's what we want, that's what it is all about.
@@ricklee5845 Thank you
@@njeriassata7541 You're most welcome!
Is there an alternative to belecan? I don’t know if I want to buy a big block
I only know of the jars of similar shrimp paste. As far as I know, there is nothing else that will taste like it.
"Terasai" from Indonesia - even better! Thailand has something called "Kapi" which I have seen used a lot among the Hmong though I haven't used it yet. The smallest amount I have seen comes in 200g containers.
Flo, you look extra nice in this video. That sounds weird, but you just seem to have an extra sparkle in the intro part.
Lol… this was the second take of that scene because I couldn’t stop laughing. I was in tears!
Can’t do it everyday but at least once or twice a year ha!! 🤣
No need to keep your Belacan in the fridge. Keep it in a glass jar, it will last forever and won't be hard when you need to use it.
This smells like stinky feet and armpits but is absolutely delicious!!!
Sounds like you have poor hygiene standards.
