Malaysian Fried Rice With Shrimp Or Belacan Recipe

Belacan fried rice is one of the simplest fried rice recipes that you can find. How good it is (how complex the flavors are) depends largely on the quality of the shrimp paste used. As with any fried rice dish, it is best to use day-old rice which has dried out a bit. If the rice is still wet, the fried rice will turn out soggy no matter how long you stir-fry it. Long-grain rice is ideal for fried rice. The string beans can be substituted with celery or french bean in fact; any crunchy, non-leafy vegetable will do just as well.
