I've been thinking about cooking Sambal Prawns for a long time but it takes time and effort to make the sambal chilli and the recipe usually calls for a blender or a mortar and pestle to blend the chillies, shallots and belacan which I don't have. So, the solution for me is to buy ready-made sambal chilli paste and the trial and error process of finding the best paste starts. This paste tasted ok although something is lacking in taste, not sure if it's the belacan or tamarind pulp juice. Not 100% satisfied, but will make do for the moment.
- 300g of prawn cutlets (shelled and deveined)
- 100g of Nasi Lemak Chilli
- 1/2 onion (sliced)
- 1/2 garlic (chopped)
- 100ml of water
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of oil
Directions
1. Heat the oil in a wok and saute garlic until it starts to brown
2. Add in sliced onion and continue to stir-fry till fragrant
3. Toss in chilli paste and fry it under medium heat for about 1 minute
4. Turn up the heat again and add in the prawns to cook until they turn pink
5. Add in water and water and bring it to a boil before letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes and tuck in! :)
