Indonesian Style Cooking Paste Belachan 250g
The Secret Ingredient for Authentic Indonesian and Malay Flavor
Unlock the true depth and complexity of Southeast Asian cooking with Jeeny's Indonesian Cooking Paste. Known variously as Belachan (Malay) or Trassie/Terasi (Indonesian), this highly concentrated, fermented shrimp paste is the irreplaceable foundation of many iconic savory dishes.
While the raw paste has a pungent aroma, once cooked, it transforms into a deep, savory, complex Umami flavor that adds richness and body to curries, stir-fries, and the famous chili relish, Sambal. This 250g block is an essential staple for any serious cook exploring the vibrant tastes of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Key Features and Culinary Use:
-
Unmatched Umami Depth: Delivers a savory richness and complexity that cannot be replicated by other ingredients.
-
Essential for Sambal: The primary non-chili base ingredient for authentic homemade Sambal Belachan.
-
Versatile Seasoning: Perfect for enhancing stir-fries (like Nasi Goreng), curries, marinades, and fish dishes.
-
Convenient Block Form: The firm paste is easy to cut and measure for precise cooking.
Preparation Tip: For the best flavor, lightly toast or fry a small piece of the paste before adding it to other ingredients. This process mellows the raw aroma and intensifies the cooked Umami.
