Since hubby has to work today, I thought it would be nice to make the family’s favorite breakfast cokodok udang for him. Everyone in the family loves this food, but making it is so time consuming. Some people will serve cokodok udang with just simple chili or tomato ketchup, but for us we have to have the sambal goreng to go with it.
Fresh prawns is nearly impossible to get here, it is either the frozen or the bottled one, and I don’t like either as the taste is not there. So to make the cokodok udang here, I substituted by using crab sticks instead. The outcome is fantastic.
Here is my recipe for those interested to try, don’t ask me about measurements so use your own assumptions, trust me it is nicer that way.
For cokodok udang: Several crab sticks, bean sprout (as much as you like), spring onion, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix all ingredients together and let it stand for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile you can start with the sambal goreng.
For sambal goreng: Blended chili, anchovies, potatoes or aubergines (cut into tiny pieces), cooking oil, salt and some sugar. Fry the anchovies and set aside. In the same wok fry the blended chili over slow fire for about 10 minutes, then add the potatoes or aubergines. Once they are cooked, off the fire and let it cool down before adding the fried anchovies, this way the anchovies will still be crispy when you eat.
