Balacan Asparagus

This is another quick and easy side-dish which could take up to max 15 mins to prepare and yet very delicious! The ingredients used for this dish were slightly different from normal (Chinese style) stir fried asparagus. It taste a little spicy as Balancan (Nga Pi sane in Burmese) and chili were used , but I am sure that our Burmese friends will definitely like this dish.
(Balacan = salted fish paste which is available in most of the supermarkets in SG)
