Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Belachan along with all the Belachan containing recipes presented on this site, with 13 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Belachan recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Belachan as a major wild food ingredient.

Belachan/Belacan/Balachong (also known as balachan or blachan) is a pungent dark-brown shrimp paste that's an essential ingredient in South-east Asian cookery (especially in Thailand). It is used in very small quantities to lift the flavours of soups and curries. It can be bought in tins or jars a well as in hard slabs or cakes from Asian shops and markets.
