Hi Guys, I have gotten so many comments and request about Trassi which is a shrimp paste used with indonesian cooking and unfortunately I only get mine from my visits to Bali, But no worries cause there is a substitute that you can use. Here is more info about Trassi and what you can substitute it with.

Trassi (or blachan) is an extremely strong smelling shrimp paste. The smell disappears during cooking. It is an essential ingredient in most Indonesian dishes. Available in blocks, which need to be sliced thinly and then toasted after which they can be ground up and used as instructed. Also available ready ground.
Trassi is quite pungent so make sure to store refrigerated in a very tightly sealed container.
Ingredient Substitutions
Anchovy paste or anchovy filets, mashed
