Ingredients

400 g Peeled Prawns
1 Medium (200 g) Red Onion, halved, sliced
40 g Tamarind Paste mix with 125 ml Water
1 Tbsp Sugar or to taste
1 tsp Sea Salt or to taste

To make the sambal, soak the dried chili pieces with boiling water until they are soften. Drain the chilies and make sure to get rid of the seeds. Then combine it with yellow onion, red chilies, shallots, shrimp paste and blend until they become a paste.

Heat oil and cook the sambal paste on moderate to low heat. Cook until the sambal is fragrant. Then add the slice red onion. Give it a quick stir and mix in the tamarind mixture and season with sugar and salt.

Add the prawns into the sambal mixture; stir briefly until the prawns are cooked. Serve the prawn sambal at room temperature with steamed rice.

    This looks amazing Angie - just wondering about the onions though, does it matter if I just use yellow or red onions for the recipe?

    You can use both, but I prefer the yellow onion because it's sweeter.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
