September 24, 2021 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

My mom’s delicious Malaysian Assam Prawns in a wok is fast and easy. I’m sharing her SECRETS and SIMPLIFYING the dish for maximum flavor with minimum work.  Just 3 ingredients, 10 minutes and you’re done! Assam Prawns is a Nyona dish (the best of Chinese and Malaysian food, also known as Peranakan).

Do you know assam or tamarind are the same thing? It’s a slightly sour fruit pulp. The sourness is what makes a dish so appetizing. It’s used in many Malaysian and Nyona dishes like Tamarind Pork Rib Curry. It’s another of mom’s dishes that my family loved. I’ll be sharing blog and video soon.

I explain in the video which assam pulp to get so you don’t make a mistake like I did!

The wild caught jumbo prawns were perfectly seared in my cast iron wok and flavored with the 3 ingredient Assam Sauce. You can also make in your cast iron skillet!  10 minutes from start to finish, DONE!

Note: Please no nonstick woks or pans because it cannot handle high heat. 

You’ll find helpful tips in the video to make this Assam Prawns. It will become your favorite Weeknight Dinner the whole family will crave!
