About Belacan sambal

Belacan Sambal is a flavorful Malaysian condiment made from a blend of chili peppers, shrimp paste (belacan), lime juice, garlic, and occasionally shallots and sugar. Rooted in Southeast Asian cuisine, it is a staple in Malaysian, Indonesian, and Singaporean cooking, known for its bold, umami-packed taste and an alluring balance of spicy, salty, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors. Shrimp paste is a fermented ingredient rich in protein, while the chili peppers provide capsaicin, which may support metabolism. However, due to its high sodium content from the shrimp paste, consumption should be mindful, especially for those managing salt intake. Typically used as a dip, side, or seasoning, Belacan Sambal enhances a variety of dishes and is prized for its ability to elevate even the simplest of meals. Best enjoyed in moderation, it delivers an authentic taste of Malaysia's culinary heritage.
