Brilio.net - Terasi is one of the mainstay cooking spices for mothers, usually made into chili sauce. Terasi is made from fermented fish or shrimp, so it has a distinctive taste and aroma. This cooking spice can be used straight away or cooked first. However, many people prefer to process shrimp paste by heating it first so that the taste and aroma are stronger.
To make it more practical, some people usually stock shrimp paste in large quantities. Unfortunately, for some people, storing this spice is a chore in itself because raw shrimp paste generally tends to still be wet, so it easily becomes soft, stale and moldy within a few days. Therefore, the shrimp paste must be dried in the sun first so that it dries and lasts a long time.
Apart from drying it in the sun, apparently there are other ways that are no less effective for storing shrimp paste so that it lasts a long time. You can copy the method for storing shrimp paste shared by Instagram user @pramita_rusdan.
