Wow, that was a mighty pungent cloud of vapor that went whomp into my face when that shrimp paste/garlic/chile mixture hit the pan! I hope my roommate doesn't weird out on the fragrance when he gets home--right now I can't tell if the smell has just all lodged up my nose, or is hanging in the apartment.

Ha ha ha ha... LOL! It happens faster than David Blaine does a sleight of hand magic trick! I should have posted a warning about the smell... BTW, did I say that the fishy-shrimpy smell will remain on your cloths for days??? Using fermented bean curds is safer.

Oh dear! Well, roommate made no mention of any smell issue, and the cat isn't hovering around sniffing me, so I'm just going to put today's clothes in the laundry and move on. Although ... I really do like that fishy paste, so I'll probably be stinking up the joint again fairly soon.

I do want to try it with the fermented bean curd too. Another stinky food I've fallen in love with. (Just not blasting me in the face all at once, is all. )
