Anchovies Powder aka Ikan Bilis Powder 江鱼仔粉

This is a MUST have item in the kitchen BUT I don't make this for my boy when he was a baby.  When he was baby - toddler, I cooked porridge with chicken or pork with carrots, peas, potatoes and topped with some blanch vegetables. Anchovies are far too 'salty' for my baby's food. So I omit this until now he's a preschooler, I use this to enhance the flavor in stir fry vegetables like cabbage, fried rice, soup, porridge and many more dishes. With this, I can omit oyster sauce or other store bought seasoning that packed with preservatives and MSG.
