Kacang Pendek Sambal Belacan

What I really wanted to cook is kangkung (water convolvulus) sambal belacan. But since I couldn't get kangkung here, I settled with kacang pendek (string beans). The outcome was quite satisfying cos all I really care about was the prawns in sambal belacan sauce!

Kacang Pendek Sambal Belacan
1 lb of kacang pendek
1/4 lb of prawns
1 - 2 tbsp of sambal paste
1 tsp of belacan, broken into small bits
1/4 tsp of sugar
1/4 tsp of fish sauce
2 tbsp of oil

Rinse kacang pendek and cut into 2-inch lengths. Set aside.
Heat up oil in a wok. Add sambal and belacan. Stir well until the paste smells aromatic. Add in the prawns and do a quick stir, then follow by the kacang pendek. Add fish sauce, sugar, and continue to stir until well mixed (but don't overcook!) 
Dish out and serve.
