“BLACAN SAMBAL” is one of the typical dishes from Jambi province. Belacan is also called Terasi, which is basically made of fish, small shrimp, or a mixture of both. Because of the different basic ingredients, there is Terasi shrimp and Terasi fish. The ingredients are fermented, and formed into a kind of 'dough.' It's blackish brown, yet sometimes also given a color to make it look more attractive.

How to make sambal with it is quite easy and practical, can be tried right away at home. Use Belacan/shrimp paste with excellent quality. Make sure it smells fresh and doesn’t sting.
