This is a simple and delicious way to cook vegetables at home and it goes so well with steamed rice and porridge. Sambal belacan is definitely a classic in Malaysian cuisine. Not only can it be used as a condiment, it is great for stir fries with vegetables like asparagus, kangkung (water spinach), french beans or just like this dish, with long beans.
