Balachan Chilli

Today I also made my mum's famous "Balachan Chilli" and "Chilli with 虾米". My friend requested that I post the recipe, so here it is.

Btw, I cook using "agaration", I dun really measure the ingredients.

Balachan Chilli

Ingredients :

• Minced Shallots (can replace with minced red onion)
• Minced Chilli (mix some really hot and some not so)
• Balachan (roast it if u can, use aluminium foil over your stove to roast)
• Sugar
• Olive Oil

Method :

1. Heat oil. Once heated, add minced shallots and keep stir-frying until dry.
2. Add some sugar. (Cause the balachan is salty, but not too much)
3. Lower heat to medium. Add in balachan and smash it with your stirrer. Mix well and keep stirring until dissolve.
4. Add minced chilli and stir thoroughly. Let it bubble some then fry until fragant.
5. Turn off and leave to cool before storing.
6. If you make a lot, then store it in separate containers. You can keep some in the freezer, some in the fridge and bring some to keep in the office's fridge. Remember always use a clean spoon to take out small portion for use. If you use a stained spoon, the whole container will be contaminated and will become mouldy in a couple of days.
