Home-cooked: Stir-fry beans with sambal belacan

What you need:
  • long beans, cut into 1" length or bite-sized
  • cili padi (bird's eye chili), cut into small pieces
  • shallot, minced
  • garlic, minced
  • sambal belacan, a Malay style sambal which can be bought of the shelf
Heat up some oil in the wok. Add in minced garlic and minced shallot, stir-fry until fragrant. Add in the chili padi then sambal belacan. Stir-fry non-stop on low heat to avoid the sambal belacan to be over-cooked. Once fragrant, add in the long beans, cook for a few seconds then add in some water. Cover with hood and let it simmer on low heat until long beans are cooked. Stir-fry a bit and serve while it's hot.
