Udang balado

Udang balado is a traditional dish consisting of peeled or unpeeled shrimps that are stir-fried in a combination of cooking oil and spicy sambal sauce. The dish is often enriched with the addition of lemongrass, quail eggs, tofu, potatoes, or green beans.

As almost all balado dishes, this one is also very hot and fiery. When served, udang balado is often garnished with chopped scallions and accompanied by steamed rice. The dish is also known as sambal goreng udang.
