Dried Shrimp Serunding (Serunding Udang Kering)

  Preparing for the coming Ramadhan.... this is something can be stocked for suhoor (pre-dawn meal) or for a quick supper like glutinous kuih, pressed rice, etc. My way of cooking this is much faster than the conventional way but taste wise is very nice - adjust the level of spiciness to your preference.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

 Alhamdulillah, dah siap serunding ni untuk persiapan Ramadhan - kena siapkan awal2 sebab Along ni selalu jer sibuk bekerja takut nanti tak cukup makan pula orang kat rumah ni.... ada serunding ni boleh lah juga buat kudap2 kuih pulut serunding ke atau nasi himpit nanti. Sahur pun boleh lah makan ni nanti di kala selera di waktu pagi lebih suka makan yg simple2.

Ni cara Along, cara yg lebih mudah drpd cara tradisi tanpa menggunakan santan jadi lebih cepat siap. Kalau anda suka boleh tambahkan rempah-ratus tapi Along sengaja tak bubuh. Rasa nya lebih sedap jika bahan2 simple sebab tak jemu memakan nya.... cuba lah ya.
