Sambal Udang Telur | Sambal Shrimps with Egg
Have I told you that my Grandma is a mix of Indonesian and Portuguese? So, imagine her food is like a mixture of Indonesian and Portuguese cultures fusing together. That sounds awesome, right? Well, the fact of the matter is not really a fusion, but dishes are done right and properly. She has authenticity in her own unique style & way of cooking.
As much as I can remember, she would cook stews of sambal with various ingredients, served them over rice and that would be dinner. Well, as you lovely people know that I dislike rice. I took an unorthodox route with fried Vietnamese rice paper instead. I also poached an egg in the sambal stew; I mean 1 TBSP of egg white is used to marinate the shrimps, why not cook the whole egg too?

Cooking Instructions
- 1
After shrimps had been deveined, coat well with baking soda.

After 30 mins, drain & wash shrimps thoroughly under running water.
Transfer into a bowl.
Add in egg white & tapioca starch.

*The above steps are to remove the seafood odor & also making the shrimps extra bouncy.*

Pour the hot water mixture into the skillet or pan.
Deglaze & stir to combine well.
Bring it up to a slow simmer.
- 4
Create a crater & slide in an egg (this is optional, only 1 TBSP of egg white is used for marinading the shrimps, why not cook the whole egg too).
Cover & cook until the egg white & yolk cook to your preference.
Remove from heat & garnish with scallions, coriander, or parsley.
You can serve this over steamed rice or deep fried Vietnamese rice paper.
- 5
To deep fry the Vietnamese rice paper, add about 1 inch of oil in a skillet.
Once the oil is heated up, carefully drop the paper into the oil.
It will crisp up immediately.

If you are not residing in Singapore, you can replace the sambal with any chili or hot sauce of your preference. Harissa, Sambal Oelek, or Thai Red Chili Sauce will be awesome as well.

Fried Sambal with Shrimp and Stink Bean (SAMBAL GORENG UDANG PETE) Fried Sambal with Shrimp and Stink Bean (SAMBAL GORENG UDANG PETE)
Fried sambal with shrimp and petai (Parkia speciosa) is a delicious dish for the daily menu or a special day. I served the following recipe for a dear family. Adding coconut milk in this dish produces a savory flavor and is delicious, ideal when eaten with hot rice.One dish that is certainly tempting, is not inferior to other shrimp recipes such as : fried shrimp with butter, and crispy fried shrimp. Fried dry prawns dry and the bite of spicy seasoned chili, you will certainly feel it on the tongue (the amount of chili can be adjusted). What is special is that this shrimp dish will be more cool with extra crispy petai beans - will make a side dish that's more fun.

Bak Kwa Sambal Nasi Goreng | Jerky Sambal Fried Rice Bak Kwa Sambal Nasi Goreng | Jerky Sambal Fried Rice
I seem to be in a fried rice frenzy these days. Largely due to the influence of Uncle Roger storming thru social media. Haiya! If you do not know who Uncle Roger is, you are clearly missing out a lot. Like a lot! Secondly, after my kimchi fried rice, I began falling in love with fried rice even tho I am not a fan of rice. Yes, I am saying that out loud. I am considered a black sheep for disliking rice in my family, cos dogma has it that Asians need to have rice in their diet.After Lunar New Year, we will tend to have loads of bak kwa remaining. My grandma just whipped up this fried rice one day, using bak kwa leftovers and a very unique sauce. Her secret ingredient is the black fermented shrimp paste. It has that sweet umami bomb that elevates the whole dish. You can of cos use bacon or even Prosciutto. If you want your bacon or Prosciutto to be crispy, you can precook them before stir-frying into the fried rice. In closing, I hope you will give this recipe a try and I hope Uncle Roger will approve.
