Ever since this pregnancy, I've been loving sour food. Dishes like pork ribs in black vinegar and anything tomato-sauce based... Recently, I got hubby to cook these assam prawns when he was home after his trip. Its a really simple recipe, but really yummy (even Junior J loves them), so I thought I'd share it here:
Assam Prawns
(for 2, as a side dish)
Ingredients:
:: 7 Medium to large prawns (no need to remove the shells, which is the nice part!)
:: 7 cloves of garlic, diced (you can reduce this, but we like it garlicky)
:: 2-4 tablespoons tamarind paste
:: 1 small onion, sliced
:: Light and dark soya sauce
Steps:
1. Mix tamarind paste with 1/2 cup of water, stir to mix (or in hubby's words, "use your hands and squash it all up!"), add prawns, set aside.
2. Chop up garlic and onion.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry garlic and onion til fragrant.
4. Add prawns, along with tamarind paste to pan. Add 1 tablespoon of dark soya sauce and a dash of light soya sauce (this is optional).
5. Stir-fry over medium to high heat until paste thickens and prawns are cooked.
This dish is easily cooked in 10 minutes... simple right?
