Hae Bee Hiam (Spicy Dried Shrimp Sambal)

Hae Bee Hiam is one of my favourite to satisfy my craving for SPICY thing. Hae Bee Hiam is also known as spicy dried shrimp sambal. It goes well with rice, bread, noodles. It acts as good topping on vegetables too! I love to “kiap” this spicy shrimp floss in between my bread as breakfast. You may prepare a portion of this and keep it in the fridge and use it to prepare quick meal with it.
This is Superb Spicy!

  2. Divide the dough into 8pcs and roll them into ball. If the dough is sticky, add in some flour on your hand.
  3. Dust some flour on your working top, use a roller pin and flatten each dough and start spread pizza sauce on top. Follow by what you want to be in your pizza. Finally top with Mozzarella cheese.
  4. Send the pizza into a preheated oven @ 180C and bake for 18-20 mins or till the pizza become golden brown.

Taglicious’s note
  • This portion is big, you can halves it if you are are not feeding a big group of people.
  • With this portion, you can make it into 2 large pizza too. Baking time will be longer.
  • If you have a mixer/bread maker, do use it to knead the dough.
