Don't use any dried chilies as it will make it very dark and 'aging' looking. Also, when you buy the dried prawns, make sure they are fresh with very bright orange colour and not those dull and murky looking ones. I did not toast the belacan for this one as I still need to stir-fry it but if you toast it should not have any effects on the colour. Just that don't put too much. Coz the size of your chilies may vary so if you have too much belacan the colour will sure to be in darker tone. Hope that helps! Hi jusmeiz,
