Method

  1. 1 Grill the shrimp paste wrapped in aluminum foil for 5 minutes to mellow and enhance its aroma.
  2. 2 Don't add raw shrimp paste to the pan before grilling, as the strong smell will overpower all other flavors.
  3. 3 Crush the garlic and chili peppers, then sauté them for 30 seconds in a very hot pan.
  4. 4 Add the sliced pork and stir-fry for 4 minutes, then add the grilled shrimp paste and stir for 60 seconds.
  5. 5 Add the chopped green beans and palm sugar, then stir for 90 seconds.
  6. 6 Squeeze in some lemon juice, turn off the heat, and serve with a fried egg and shredded green papaya.
