Sambal Belacan Fried Rice

The essence of this Malay style fried rice lies in its flavourful base - an authentic Asian taste packed with the spice paste of chilli, belacan, lemongrass, garlic and shallot. The sweet side comes from bursting corn kernels and joyfully juicy edamame beans that lighten and brighten this recipe. It’s one of bento cook and artist Michelle Lim’s delicious creations that’s perfect for days when you’re out and about.
