🇲🇾 Malaysia recipe

Rojak

Malaysian rojak is a riotous salad that embodies the country's multicultural spirit. Chunks of tropical fruit, fried tofu, prawn fritters, and cucumber are tossed in a thick, glossy dressing made from shrimp paste, tamarind, palm sugar, and chili. Topped with a shower of crushed roasted peanuts, every bite delivers a different combination of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory that is uniquely Malaysian.
