Tamarind Spicy Shrimp Noodle Mix
Ingredients
- 100 g egg noodles (cooked, don’t over cook it)
- 7-10 shrimps (cooked, I boiled with 2 slices of ginger)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 shallot (minced)
- 10 g coriander (chopped)
- 10 g basil (you can chop if prefer)
- 1 chili (sliced)
- 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce (use soy sauce if you like)
- 40 g tamarind
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp samba oelek or chili paste (use less if you can’t eat spicy)
- 2 tsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Place tamarind in a bowl and pour in 1/2 cup hot water. Leave it for 10 mins.
- Break the tamarind to separate the meat and seeds. Place a strainer over a bowl, pour the tamarind in and use the back of a spoon to crush. You get a tamarind water after this process. Set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add oil. Once the oil is hot enough, stir in garlic and shallot. Cook until it’s golden.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tamarind water. Add fish sauce, brown sugar, chili sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Bring it to a simmer boil and remove from heat immediately.
- Let it cool a bit then add in noodles, shrimps, coriander, basil and chili slices. Toss well.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoyyyy, it’s fresh 🙂
