Sambal Udang

June 19, 2012

Ingredients
20 large prawns
3 bawang merah
2 ulas bawang putih
1/2 bawang besar
2 senduk lada blend
1 cup air asam jawa
1/4 cup kicap manis
Salt and sugar to taste

Cara-cara
1) Panaskan minyak and tumis bawang merah and bawang putih sampai naik bau
2) Masukkan lada blend and 1 tbsp of sugar so dia cepat garing
3) Goreng for about 5-7 minutes sampai garing. My indicator is always when my nose starts to itch or I start sneezing. Then add in the air asam jawa. Leave it to simmer
4) Add in the prawns, bawang besar and kicap manis. Stir well. Don't leave the prawns too long in the wok sebab tak nak dia jadi keras or the kulit to stick on the flesh. Cook until they turn orange
5) Salt and sugar to taste. My biggest problem when I first made sambal was that the sambal still pahit. So if that happens, just keep adding sugar an kicap manis until it tastes just right

Teriyaki Prawns

April 15, 2012

Ingredients
500 grams prawns, peeled and deviened
4-5 tbsp of Teriyaki sauce. Preferably ones with garlic and sesame. If not u can always add garlic paste and 1 tsp of sesame oil into your already available Teriyaki Sauce
1 stick of
Spring onions for garnishing

Instructions
1) Marinade the prawns with the sauce for about 15 mins
2) Bring the pan the medium-high heat and heat up some oil. Add in the carrots and prawns together with the juices from the marinate
3) Stir for about 3-5 minutes until the prawns turn orange-y. And since this is a stir fry dish, you'd want the prawns to be coated, not drenched in the sauce. So just stir until the sauce thickens
