Shrimp with Spicy Bean Sauce Udang Sambal

Taoco

Ground bean sauce has a very particular and pungent aroma, lending a full-bodied
saltiness and rich brown color to dishes. Fresh shrimp quickly stir-fried with spices
and a bean sauce will liven up a meal with little effort or time. Bean sauce is readily
available in Asian grocery stores, usually found in the same aisle as soy sauce. It’s
thick and rich, making it a powerful ingredient, so a little goes a long way. Though this
dish is finger-licking delicious, it does have a strong flavor. I would recommend this

to those already familiar with Indonesia’s bold culinary textures and tastes.
