Instructions
Make the sambal eggplant
In a medium wok or skillet over high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the eggplant and dried shrimp and stir-fry them until the eggplant is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the sambal belacan and toss to thoroughly coat the eggplant. Pour in the water and stir the eggplant again.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the eggplant has softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed.
Serve the sambal eggplant
Serve the eggplant with cilantro and steamed rice.
