How do you process shrimp paste so it doesn't smell?
Terasi is a kitchen spice that is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially Indonesia. Even though it has a distinctive and delicious taste, shrimp paste often has a strong and sharp aroma that some people may not like. Here's how to process shrimp paste so that the aroma isn't too strong:
Grill the shrimp paste in small quantities on a flat pan without oil for a few minutes. This process can help reduce moisture and remove some of the strong aroma. Make sure to turn the shrimp paste regularly so it cooks evenly.
After the shrimp paste is roasted, wrap the shrimp paste in banana leaves. Banana leaves can help absorb and reduce the strong aroma of shrimp paste. Leave it for some time before using.
Soak the shrimp paste in lime juice or tamarind juice for a few minutes before using. The acid in lime or tamarind can help reduce the strong aroma.
Mix the shrimp paste with a little coconut oil or vegetable oil when frying. This oil can help reduce the aroma and provide a touch of deliciousness to the shrimp paste.
Include shrimp paste in dishes along with other ingredients that have a strong aroma or are delicious. The strong aroma of shrimp paste may not be too pronounced when mixed with other ingredients.
Avoid using excessive amounts of shrimp paste. Most recipes only call for a small amount of shrimp paste to provide a strong flavor.
Store shrimp paste in a separate container from other ingredients in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container to prevent the shrimp paste aroma from spreading to other ingredients.
Choose good quality and fresh shrimp paste. High quality shrimp paste tends to have a less pungent aroma.
By using one or a combination of the steps above, you can reduce the strong aroma of shrimp paste so that it is more acceptable in cooking.
