Sambal Belacan | Raw Chillies with Shrimp Paste [Nyonya Cooking]

Sambal belacan is a ‘no-cook’ hot and spicy chilli sauce. The ultimate sambal belacan has to be fiery, savoury, sweet and sour at the same time. You only need less than 10 minutes to make sambal belacan which is best served with meat, seafood or even noodles.

Hot sauce is something I can never say no to. When a meal is a little dull or if you want to enhance the flavour of a dish, it would be handy to have some spicy condiment to work up the appetite.

Sambal Belacan is raw hot sauce and is very easy to prepare once you have the ingredients. This spicy condiment is great when taken with either rice or noodles. For this specific Sambal Belacan recipe, it is best served with Tau Yu Bak (Braised Pork in Soy Sauce) or Stir-Fry Yam Bean with Dried Squid (Jiu Hu Char). Otherwise, have this Asian hot sauce anyhow you want to!

As you may see in the video, I prepared Sambal Belacan with a bit of calamansi juice. Calamansi is not easily available in Europe. So, the best substitute would be lime juice. If you like, you can always prepare Sambal Belacan in a bigger batch and keep it frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Isn't this the easiest hot sauce recipe you can find?
