Inspired by Ching of Little Corner of Mine, I've decided to make Sambal Dried Shrimps with a recipe given to my husband by his family. I had failed miserably before and daren't try it again.
It was so long ago that I had since tasted this sambal that for the love of it, I couldn't remember how this sambal was supposed to taste. There I was, stirring and stirring, getting my husband into the kitchen to keep tasting just so I could get the flavors right! It was just too funny!! And all my husband would say that he thinks that it needed more sugar. Ok...if any one who knows Ed, he's a sucker for sweet stuff, so I was doubtful to trust him......
In the end, I decided it was just enough sugar, I don't want to turn this dish into dry fried sugar with dry chillis which was what we would end up with if I didn't put an end to his "I think we need more sugar".
With all my greediness, I ended up with more sambal than we really can consume. So went into this baking frenzy to use as much of it as possible. As you can see, I made some Sambal Dried Shrimp Pao/Bun. It was actually pretty good. The down side to all these, my little boy couldn't eat any of it, it was just too spicy for his palate. Oh well.....nevertheless Ed ate all up!!! :) Good for him!

Peitempo: Yah...I overmade a huge batch..so some of it is still in freezer.. as for fedex...hmmm, I don't think it would last the trip there!! heehhe...and i think the smell would have made the fedex dudes suspicious!! hehehe
Ching: actually the bao's not that white but the light that it was taken with helps to "whiten" the bun!! heeheh...thanx anyway! I so wish I had some HK flour to work with...that would have been whiter!
