Sambal Udang (Prawn Sambal) with Roti Jala Recipe

Sambal Udang or prawn sambal is a very popular Malaysian dish and there are many different recipes available. The one I love the most is my late mother’s sambal udang recipe, a very simple prawn sambal dish that I will share with you all one day. My second favorite will have to be my friend Salt and Turmeric‘s authentic Malay…

Satay Prawns (Prawns with Spicy Peanut Sauce) Recipe

Satay Prawns (Prawns with Spicy Peanut Sauce) Recipe

A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge. I’ve almost forgotten about it until I cleaned my fridge the other day. The thing about satay peanut sauce is…

Malaysian Prawn Noodles

Malaysian Prawn Noodles

I have written about this famed street food/hawker food dish (known locally as Penang Hokkien Mee) a couple of times; you can check out my previous entries here and here. This time I added extra toppings on my prawn noodles with fresh water prawns. In Malaysia, we call this “加料”/”Gar Liew”/”Keh Liao”–which means you pay extra for more toppings…

Pan-fried Prawns Recipe (干烧虾)

Pan-fried Prawns Recipe (干烧虾)

This pan-fried prawns recipe is probably one of the easiest but remarkably delicious recipes for prawns–fresh water prawns pan-fried with soy sauce, cooking wine, and a wee bit of sugar. In Chinese, this dish is called 干烧虾. Fresh water prawn is a great choice because of the texture of the prawns, and the juicylicious and rich taste in the heads….

Today, I am presenting a shrimp dish–fried shrimp balls. Don’t you think these shrimp balls look oh-so-adorable with their fringy outfit? This dish is inspired by my favorite restaurant in San Francisco–Ton Kiang, a Chinese restaurant that I absolutely love and strongly recommend. (I heard Robin Williams is a regular there!) Ton Kiang serves the best fried shrimp balls in…

My Almost Perfect Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle Soup)

My Almost Perfect Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle Soup)

It was almost perfect…except for a little flaw. Look closely and you will see those little dried chili bits. I’ve got to get a new food processor that is powerful enough to blend the dried chilies finely…

Penang Hokkien Mee Recipe (Prawn Mee / Har Meen / Mee Yoke / 福建虾面)

(For the newer posts on Penang Hokkien Mee, please click here and here.) This divine bowl of Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle) took me months of hard work and patience. I mean months, not days, and certainly not hours. To concoct a pot of pure shrimpy stock that is signature to this Penang hawker food dish, one has to have…
