How to Use Belacan
New to belacan? Here's everything you need to know about this essential Malaysian ingredient.
Toast It
Lightly toast belacan over a flame or dry pan until fragrant. This releases the full aroma and removes excess moisture.
Pound or Blend
Combine toasted belacan with chillies, shallots, and lime juice. Use a mortar and pestle for the best texture.
Cook With It
Add to sambal, curries, stir-fries, soups, and marinades. A little goes a long way — start with a small amount.
Storage Tips
Keep in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 months.
