Rempah udang

Rempah udang is a special spice mix that is commonly used in South East Asian cuisine, especially in dishes that contain shrimp (aka udang in Malay).

Imagine you have a special box filled with different kinds of spices - like a treasure chest! Rempah udang is like a magic potion made by mixing various spices present in that box. These spices can include ingredients like chillies, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and many others.

When you want to cook something using rempah udang, you sprinkle it onto the shrimp or any other dish of your choice, and in just a few minutes, the spices start working to give it a super yummy and flavorful taste.

It's like putting special fairy dust on your food, and it makes it taste really special and magical!
