Sambal Prawns


Ingredients:
200g medium sized prawns (peeled with tail intact and deveined)
1/2 onion (shredded)
2 tbsp oil
1 1/2 tbsp water

Sambal:
1 tbsp shallots (finely chopped)
1 tbsp dried prawns (soaked and chopped)
1 tsp belacan (toasted and grinded into powder)
1/2 tbsp chilli powder

Seasoning:
Salt (to taste)
Dash of sugar (to taste)

Methods:

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok and saute the sambal ingredients until fragrant.
  2. Add in seasoning and stir to mix well.
  3. Add in shredded onion and stir fry until aromatic, then add prawns and give it a quick stir. Add in water and stir-fry till prawns are cooked.
  4. Dish up and serve.
Note: In Chinese cooking there are many methods of cooking prawns.  Normally for me, I will decide what to cook, how to cook and what other ingredients to cook with depending on the size of the prawns.  It's a yummy dish to enjoy with a bowl of freshly cooked white rice. To those who love Fusion Food, I trust that this prawn dish will make a delicious topping for a plate of Spaghetti.
