Stir-frying shrimp paste is a common cooking technique in some Asian cuisines, especially in Southeast Asia. Shrimp paste, also known as belacan in Malay or gochujang in Korean cuisine, is a fermented condiment made from ground shrimp or krill mixed with salt and sometimes other ingredients. It adds a unique umami and seafood flavor to dishes. Here’s how you can stir-fry shrimp paste:

Ingredients:

  • Shrimp paste (belacan or gochujang)
  • Cooking oil (typically a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil)
  • Optional ingredients: minced garlic, minced shallots, sliced chilies, and other aromatics or seasonings to taste
  • Protein or vegetables of your choice (e.g., shrimp, chicken, tofu, or vegetables)
  • Salt or soy sauce (if needed for seasoning)

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil: In a wok or a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat. The amount of oil depends on the quantity of shrimp paste and other ingredients you’re using.
  2. Add aromatics (optional): If you’d like to enhance the flavor, you can add minced garlic, minced shallots, or sliced chilies to the hot oil. Stir-fry them for a minute or until they become fragrant.
  3. Add shrimp paste: If your shrimp paste is in a block or solid form, break it into smaller pieces or crumble it into the hot oil. Stir-fry the shrimp paste for a few minutes, allowing it to release its aroma and slightly brown. The shrimp paste will become fragrant as it cooks.
  4. Add protein or vegetables: If you’re making a full stir-fry dish, you can add your choice of protein (e.g., shrimp, chicken, or tofu) or vegetables at this stage. Stir-fry them along with the shrimp paste until they are cooked through.
  5. Season to taste: Depending on your preference and the saltiness of your shrimp paste, you may need to season the stir-fry with a pinch of salt or soy sauce. Be cautious with the salt because shrimp paste is already salty.
  6. Stir-fry until done: Continue to stir-fry all the ingredients until they are well-coated with the shrimp paste and cooked to your liking. This usually takes just a few minutes since stir-frying is a quick cooking method.
  7. Serve: Once everything is cooked and well-mixed, remove the stir-fry from heat. You can serve it as a side dish or as a main course, typically with steamed rice.

Stir-frying shrimp paste can yield a savory and aromatic dish with a strong umami flavor. It’s a versatile technique that can be used with various proteins and vegetables, allowing you to create a range of delicious meals.
