Ingredients

Udang Bakar – 1 portion
Yellow onion – 1 medium
Garlic – 3 cloves
Vegetable or meat broth – 1.5 L
Olive oil – 2 tbsp
Salt and pepper – to taste

Steps

In a heavy-bottomed pot, warm 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until translucent (~5 minutes).
Add the main protein or vegetable base and sear briefly for color (~3 minutes).
Pour in the broth or water for Udang Bakar, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
Add herbs, spices, and aromatics. Cover partially and simmer for 30–40 minutes until the flavors meld and the protein is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and acid (lime, vinegar, or citrus) just before serving.
Ladle into bowls and finish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of oil.
