Long Beans Sambal with shrimp
I missed all singaporean food like sambal olek, sambal eggs, sambal ikan, sambal belcan ladies finger etc. I can see this dishes daily in each and every food courts there. This dish is all time favourite to Singaporeans. I learnt this recipe only when I was in Singapore. It's very quick to cut long beans and stir fry it within 5 minutes. It's also an excellent dish for crowd pleaser.
It has good source of vitamin C, folic acid and fibre. Prawn has high protein and zero carbohydrates.
What to need:
Long beans = 1 pound
Shrimp = 1/2 pound peeled and devein ( I used frozen salad shrimp)
Sambal Oelek = 2 tbsp or adjust to the spicy level
Small onion = 1 thinly sliced
Garlic = 3 to 4 cloves
Red chilly = 2 sliced fresh or dry
Curry leaves = few
Brown sugar = 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Method:
Cut long beans to 11/2" long. Heat some oil in the wok and add 1 tsp of cumin(optional). Stir fry garlic,onions and curry leaves until lightly brown. Add sambal paste and stir fry for one to two minutes. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes and then long beans and chilli. Stir fry for about 3 min or until the beans are cooked.
Singaporeans serve hot with warm rice. I serve it with fish curry or any seafood curry which is a good combo for this side dish.
Variations:
Replace it with asparagus or french beans.
