About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Stir-fry Sambal Prawns with Onions and Tomatoes

This is a spicy dish for chilli lovers.

Ready-made Sambal Chilli can be conveniently purchase from any supermarket, hence it made the recipe for dish reduces at least half of its steps. But I have to say that I took a long time to choose the bottle of sambal chilli as there are many varieties. Some of them taste more sour than the rest, and from my experience, they look lighter or "orangish" in the color of the sambal chilli sauce. My preferred taste for this dish is spicy but yet it comes with a "little sweetness". Finally, I decided to go with A1 brand as it looks deep dark red, without the chilli seed visible. I tried cooking, and yeah... this is the taste that I wanted. =)
