Quick Fried Rice with Shrimp Paste

Posted 2014-04-22 by GiGi GMV ⇒ follow


Shrimp paste also known as belacan, is a popular ingredient used in Southeast Asian stir-fry dishes. It is commonly appeared in Thai and Malaysian cuisines. It has got a strong smell and a small amount should suffice.

The shrimp paste adds depth and flavour to the ordinary fried rice.

A good hearty meal within 20 minutes.



Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 2 servings



Ingredients
2 cups of cooked rice
20g shrimp paste
2 beaten eggs
1 cup of frozen pea
10g green shallots
20g mini vine capsicum
40g pork mince
5ml light soy sauce


Method
  • Heat oil in a fry pan over high heat, add in chopped shallots and pork mince, stir fry till brown and fragrant.



  • Add in the shrimp paste and stir fry briskly and quickly.

  • Stir in the beaten eggs and cook until scramble.



  • Add in the rice and coat thoroughly.



  • Add in the frozen pea.



  • Add in the capsicum slices.



  • Season with little light soy sauce.

    • (Tip: The shrimp paste is inherent quite salty, soy sauce can be omitted. I use light soy sauce for its low salt-content.)

  • Continue stir-fry until well seasoned.




  • Garnish with more sauteed capsicums and green shallots on top.



  • Serve hot.



  • If you like it spicy, add some chili oil.
  • Shrimp paste matches well with chili.
