Belacan really stinks! You have been warned...
Update:
After some experimenting, and major waste of ingredients, here's what works...(recording for posterity)
1/8 teaspoon belacan. Anything more simply ruins it and stinks up the whole house.
5 large, fresh red chilli
4 fresh chilli padi
1 teaspoon sugar
1. Toast the belacan in a frying pan without any oil. Use a spoon to turn the paste into a coarse powder. Ensure that the belacan is really dry.
2. Place the dried belacan powder in a mortar.
3. Cut chilli into small pieces. Place them in the mortar.
4. Pound until well-mixed.
5. Add sugar and continue pounding to mix in.
