Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Large shrimp (cleaned) 15 pieces
Firm tofu (cut into cubes) 1 block
All-purpose flour 1 packet
Tamarind (to taste) As needed
Salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper ½ teaspoon
Red shallots (roughly chopped) 5 cloves
Garlic (roughly chopped) 6 cloves
Large red chilies (sliced diagonally) 2 pieces
Bird’s eye chilies (sliced diagonally) 15 pieces
Lemongrass (smashed) 1 stalk
Ginger (smashed) 2 cm
Spring onion 1 stalk
Sugar (to taste) As needed
Cooking oil For frying

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Begin by peeling the shrimp and cutting the tofu into cubes. After rinsing both thoroughly, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of tamarind, salt, and pepper for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  2. Frying: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Coat the marinated shrimp and tofu with all-purpose flour, ensuring an even layer. Fry the shrimp and tofu until golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove and set aside.

  3. Sautéing Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and sauté the chopped shallots and garlic until fragrant and golden. Add the sliced red and bird’s eye chilies, along with the lemongrass and ginger. Stir-fry until the mixture becomes aromatic and slightly dry.

  4. Combining: Once the aromatics are ready, add the fried shrimp and tofu back into the pan. Toss everything together, ensuring that the shrimp and tofu are well-coated with the spicy seasoning. Adjust the taste with sugar, salt, and pepper as desired.

  5. Serving: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. This dish pairs wonderfully with warm steamed rice.

Enjoy your flavorful Udang Tahu Cabe Garam! Happy cooking!
