Homemade Dried Shrimp Sambal Hae Bi 100g

Homemade Hae Bi Malaysian Dried Shrimp Sambal 100g Now Available in the UK!

This Malaysian dried shrimp sambal is a savoury chilli condiment with the concentrated taste of hae bi. The little pieces of dried shrimp give it a coarser texture than a smooth sauce. Spoon it straight onto hot rice so the warmth releases the shrimp aroma.

Hae bi is the Hokkien name for dried shrimp. It’s a pantry ingredient in Malaysian Chinese and Peranakan cooking, where cooks fry it with chilli to make a sambal that keeps its seafood flavour even in small spoonfuls.

Stir a little into noodles with spring onion, or serve it beside steamed egg and rice. It also gives a pan of fried rice a deeper shrimp taste if you fry it briefly before adding the grains.
