Ingredients :

• Approximately 15 pieces of ladies finger (washed and sliced diagonally)
• A pinch of sugar
• 50 ml warm water
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (preferably palm oil)

• 50 grammes dried prawns / shrimps (pre-soaked for 10 minutes to soften)
• 20 grammes of belacan
• 5 to 8 cloves garlic
• 5 to 8 cloves shallots
• 3 to 5 red chillis (remove seeds if you want the sambal to be less hot)

1. Heat oil on wok at medium heat. Stir-fry the sambal belacan mix for about 2 minutes.
2. Increase heat to high and add ladies finger and sugar. Stir well for about 2 minutes or till the ladies finger is to your desired softness. Add a little water at a time if sambal belacan mix beginning to burn. As the sambal belacan mix contains dried prawns and belacan which are salty in itself, it may not be necessary to add salt.
