Description
The sweet sour seasoning with aromatic bunga kantan as well as peanuts and sesame seeds would not work so well if it’s not for the aromatic belacan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 50g dried coral seaweed – soaked & become about 250g
- 3–4 tablespoon Calamansi Juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 red chili
- 1 tablespoon belacan paste (Shrimp paste)

- 1 japanese cucumber – cut into thin strips
- ½ red onion – thinly sliced
- ½ cup roasted peanuts – roughly grinded

Instructions
- Drain seaweed well and roughly snip them shorter. In a big bowl, toss seaweed with calamansi juice, sugar and salt.
