Kerabu Bee Hoon (Rice Noodle Salad)

I used the Sambal Belachan Tumis recipe here to make this Kerabu Beehoon. This dish is toss like a salad, great with Asian spicy food. "Outta This World".

Recipe:

1 pkt of rice vermicelli soaked in cold water for about 20 mins
2 cups of bean sprouts
2 cups of shrimps (or you can use 1 cup of dried shrimps soaked in water for 10 mins and saute over hot oil).
1 cup of kerisik - finely grated toasted coconut
1 cup of Sambal Belachan
3 thinly sliced limau perut leaves (leave of kaffir lime).

Prepare Sambal Belachan (or use the one on my blog)

25 medium red chilies
1 tbs shrimp paste (belacan) toasted
Pound the chilis with the toasted shrimp paste until chilies are fairly fine. Store excess in a jar in the fridge for later use

Method for Kerabu Beehoon

Blanched the Beehoon in hot water quickly, do not overcook as the Beehoon will continue to cook when removed from the water. Blanched the fresh shrimps if using fresh shrimps. You can choose to blanch the bean sprouts or add raw.

In a large salad bowl, combine sambal belachan, shrimp, beehoon, bean sprouts, limau perut leaves and toss until sambal is mixed evenly. Add salt to adjust to taste.

Add lime juice and garnish with cilantro before serving.
