Kangkung Sambal Belacan (WaterSpinach Sambal Belacan)

Remember few days ago, i finally found my Belacan here? Well, i quickly make this wonderful and simple dish that i absolutely adore. This recipe is easy and i use the cheat method. Instead making my own sambal paste, i got a ready made  Sambal Oelek from the Asian Market. I hope you will enjoy it.

1 tbsp dried shrimps (soaked) (optional)
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp sugar or enough for taste

2. Heat up pan /wok with oil and stir fry the paste for about 2-3 minutes until it is fragrant,
