微波 Sambal Belechan

在加拿大那么多年，我们家对sambal belachan 还是非常的热爱。。平时也很少会做，因为sambal belachan 需要炒，而且那味道很重。。。年初在盈盈的网站看到这microwave version。马上就开工做了。。现在这sambal belachan 是我们家必有的。。我每一次都做双倍，把一半冻在freezer，需要的时候就拿出来用。


盈盈的食谱
（我每一次用的辣椒都不一样，反正辣度可以根据每个人的口味而定）

Ingredients：
10 Shallot -我有一次用onion，味道好像也没有差多少
6 cloves of garlic
6 fresh red chilies or 3 red cor horn chilies
15 dried chilies （or 3-4tbsp chili powder）－我两样都加，但量就减少
1 tbsp Belachan
1 1/2 inches of galangal (or one stick of lemongrass) －我都只用香茅
3 tbsp of oil  (For grinding)
1/3 cup oil for cooking

Seasoning：
1 tbsp Tamarind paste or 2 tbsp of lime/lemon juice
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

1.  Grind together all ingredients list under ingredients with 3 tbsp of oil and 1/4 cup of water.
2.  Pour the paste into a microwavable pot/container, cover with lid and microwave for 5 minutes, take it out and stir well.
3.  Do the same process for another 3 minutes, and pour in 1/3 cup of oil, stir well, microwave again for 3 minutes, stir, and add another three minutes until oil separated at the edge.
4. keep repeating until you get the consistency you want. I took 3-4 repeating steps to get the consistency I want. The  time could be adjusted according to your microwave wattage.
5.Add tamarind paste, sugar and salt for seasoning, stir well and microwave another 3 minutes.
6. Let cold before storing in jar.

这sambal belachan有很多的用途，我也拿来炒kangkong。热油爆香蒜米和虾米，加sambal belachan，加kangkong用大火快炒，加虾，加点盐和糖调味即可。

还试过弄sambal hamburger，老公说味道太棒了。。面包涂牛油煎一煎，煎个鸡蛋，ham，加点生菜或黄瓜，涂上sambal即可。很不一般的hamburger 哦。。

当然配红烧肉吃，味道也是一级棒。。反正我们家如有炒面，炒米粉或炒饭，老公也会要求自添sambal belachan。

这sambal belachan 真的很棒，谢谢盈盈不私的分享。。
