🇸🇬 Singapore recipe

Rojak

Rojak, meaning 'eclectic mix' in Malay, is a uniquely Singaporean salad that brings together an unlikely combination of fruits, vegetables, and fried elements bound by a thick, dark, pungent sauce. The dressing of hae ko (prawn paste), tamarind, sugar, and chili transforms humble ingredients like pineapple, cucumber, you tiao, and tau pok into something boldly flavorful. It is a dish that captures Singapore's multicultural spirit on a single plate.
