Sambal Prawns

This is a delicious and tasty dish and can go very well with rice. Before you start cooking this dish, it would be better for you to get all the ingredients ready. The ingredients are as follows:
1. Chilli Bo. You can either buy this from the market, or you can make your own. Cut a bowl of dry chilli into smaller pieces and soak in hot water for a while. Then blend... without the seeds. You can store this in the freezer and use it whenever you need it.
2. Prawns...10 or 12 pieces. Peel and de-vein the prawns first. Cut into two if the prawns are big. Make them easier to eat.
3. Big onions ...4 or 5 big onions. Peel, clean and cut into rings.
4. Garlic....3 or 4 cloves. Cut into small pieces.
5. Assam Jawa ... 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls. Mix the assam jawa with half a cup of water. Add in the assam jawa to taste. Some like the sambal prawns to be a bit sour, and some like just a trace of the assam jawa.
6. Salt to taste.

Heat some oil in a non-stick pan and saute the garlic and the big onions. Put in 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls of the chilli Bo. This will depend on your taste. If you like it hot, just add more chilli Bo. Mix the onions and the garlic together with the chilli. Stir it well. When it is almost done, add in the prawns. Don't over cook the prawns. Add in the assam jawa a little at a time, tasting it all the time, until you get the taste that you want. Don't forget the salt. Scope up the sambal prawns onto a plate and serve.

Try this dish and let me know the results. Enjoy.
