🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

  • 1 cup cooked white rice

  • 1 tbsp oil

🍳 How to Make Sambal Prawn Rice

Step 1 — Start with onions

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook until soft and slightly fragrant.

Step 2 — Add prawns

Add the prawns into the pan.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes until they just start turning pink.

Step 3 — Add sambal

Add 1–2 tablespoons of sambal udang directly into the pan.
Stir well so the onions and prawns are fully coated.

Cook everything together for another 1–2 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked and the sambal slightly caramelises.

Step 4 — Serve

Serve hot over rice.

Optional: add a fried egg, garnish with spring onions, or squeeze some lime for extra brightness.

🔥 Pro Tips

  • Let the sambal cook slightly longer for a deeper flavour
  • Add more sambal if you want it spicier
  • Don’t overcook the prawns — they should stay juicy
  • A fried egg on top makes it a complete meal

💡 Why This Works

Cooking the onions and prawns together before adding sambal keeps everything simple and natural, while still allowing the sambal to coat and flavour the entire dish.

No extra steps — just good ingredients coming together in one pan.
