Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for a minute or until fragrant.
If you’re using shrimp paste, add it to the pan and continue stirring for another minute.
Toss in the prawns and cook until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste with a little water to create a tamarind juice. Pour it into the pan and stir well to coat the prawns.
Add sugar and salt to taste, adjusting the flavors according to your preference. Cook for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Once the prawns are cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for added freshness and aroma.
Serve the Sambal Goreng Udang hot with steamed rice or as a side dish.
