Bite On It!

I had a request from Angeline a few weeks back asking for some spicy dishes. I seldom cook spicy dishes as they are rather heaty but I know my PiggyBeng will loves them so I have to cook one or two dishes of hot stuff once in a while. Though my MIL will cook some fish gulai (curry with no coconut milk and a more sourish version) but that ain’t enough so I will try to add some varieties if I can.

My mom gave me some habaneros (one of the most intensely spicy chili peppers - Wikipedia) during my last trip back to KL and I have totally forgotten about them sitting in my chilies box in the fridge. Some has started to rot when I checked them out so decided to cook them asap!

Ingredients

• 300-400g Longbeans
• 100g Dried shrimps
• 7-8pcs Shallot
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 5pcs Red chilies
• 1pc Habanero or 3pcs Chili padi (I put them all!)
• 1/2″x1″ Belacan (Shrimp paste)
• Water or Tamarind juice
• Sugar (in case too spicy)
