To make your own sambal anchovies from scratch, this is the base you need to enhance the flavor. But be wary when you cook, the smell can linger around for days and it’s strong. I should have give a heads up to my husband.
This shrimp paste is exactly what I need... Usually I use it to make Sambal Belacan (Sambal Terasi). It is hard to find it in Asian market in the US... luckly it is available at Amazon..
This is better than the bottled “bagoong Isda” in my country. I just squeeze some lemon for quick dipping sauce. Stores easy. And space saver in my fridge.
