Sambal Terasi (Mums version of Chili Oil)

OK, OK, its taken me awhile to get my big behind to start this again but I am back and I have a whole load of recipes for you to try. Yes, yes... I will try not to have another long pause. I was being slightly lazy... alright... very lazy. My apologies.

This is really my mums version of the Chinese chili oil. You can eat it to compliment your rice dish whether its fried rice, steamed rice with other dishes or some of us, namely me eat it on its own... yeah yeah a bit much but its just so so yummy. ;-) So try it out. You can keep it in the refrigerator, so make tons so that it'll last.

The Ingredient

• Shrimp paste
• 4 to 6 fresh red chilies
• 8 to 10 tablespoons of dried chili paste
• 20 small chilies (optional)

The Method

• Cook or roast the shrimp paste till its dry and completely cooked.
• Blend all the chilies and the shrimp paste.
• Heat up your wok with some oil.
• Cook all the blended goods for about 10 minutes till it thickens and the the oil rises. Add some oil and dried chili paste if needed.

An easy one but oh so sedap. The video is a bit choppy but you'll get what I mean. ;-)

So... masak lah dengan kasih sayang. Memang lagi sedap. Enjoy!

Will post soon! Sabar ye...

Its been more than a month since my last post. Mum has been asking what to make next... and I keep saying 'tunggu dulu' cause I've got about 5 recipes still waiting to be posted. Once I'm done with my work deadlines, I will work on this again. I haven't forgotten this blog, just that this magazine I'm working on is taking quite a bit of my time. I will be done in about 2 more weeks and I will concentrate on this blog.

And I do have some good recipes to post. Some of my favourites for sure. But tunggulah a few more weeks and I will start posting again. Don't give up on mum and I yet! ;-)

Thanks for your patience. ;-)
