Sambai Haeh Bee - Tim & Chooi Yoke's Home Cooking

Sambai Haeh Bee (11 December 2016)

The Sambai Haeh Bee, or dried prawns in sambal, is one of my favourite things. It can be eaten on its own, or put into paos or sandwiches. My wife's sambai haeh bee is spicy, and has lots of kaffir lime leaves, so it has a release of wonderful aromas from the chilli and kaffir lime leaves.

Sambal Heh Bee Recipe

Ingredients:

Dried prawns - soak and pound
Tamarind pulp - mix with water, set aside. Strain and obtain juice.
Dried chili - cut and soak
Lemongrass - cut
Toasted belacan
Shallot
Garlic
Sugar
Salt
Kaffir lime leaves - slice finely

Method:

Blend the soaked chilis, lemongrass, toasted belacan, shallot and garlic until fine paste.
Heat up a wok with some oil. Pour in the ground paste, and stir until 'pecah minyak'.
Add in pounded dried prawns and tamarind juice, season with sugar and salt.
Stir until the desired consistency.
If you prefer a dry and crumbly sambal, stir over medium flame until it is quite dry.
Finally add in sliced kaffir lime leaves, and mix well.
Leave to cool before storing in air-tight container.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
