Hae Bee Hiam Aglio Olio – 蝦米香意粉

A simple fusion pasta for those that are fans of “Hae Bee Hiam” (Dried Shrimps Spicy Sambal), this recipe can be simply cooked under 30 minutes!

The method is simple – stir fry olive oil with sliced garlic, add in chilli flakes and Hae Bee Hiam, and coat it over the pasta. Our choice here was San Remo’s Instant Spaghetti, and the end result is very satisfying! Top up with more Hae Bee Hiam for that extra kick!
