Hae Bee Hiam (Dried Shrimps)

Have not been eating out often now that I am still on medical leave. But the good news for Bubi is that I have been cooking dinner every night for him and washing up after. He just sits around and eats and says a cute "thank you". Tsktsktsk.

So I have been experimenting with recipes I read on the internet and since I have been longing for hae bee hiam for a long time. Here goes!







Ingredients

Hae Bee Hiam (Dried Shrimps) 200 grams
Shallots (chopped)                      10 cloves
Garlic (chopped)                         2 tbsp
Sambal Chili                               3 tbsp or how spicy you want it to be
Oil                                               1 tbsp
Sugar and salt - But the sambal chili is already salty so I didnt add any salt to mine
