Belacan Fried Rice is a very simple fried rice recipe. It is the dried shrimp paste or belacan that gives this version of fried rice its unique Southeast Asian flavor.
It is best to use day-old rice when preparing this dish because you want the rice to be dry and slightly hard. The long beans can be substituted with celery or french bean – in fact, any crunchy, non-leafy vegetable will do just as well.
