Dried Shrimp Paste Sambal

“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.'
