Published Jun 02, 2020 Updated Nov 03, 2024 My mother was an excellent and creative home cook. She fed us every day with 4 to 5 dishes. On our dining table, there were always soup, pork, chicken, seafood, tofu, eggs and vegetables. Somehow, she managed to cook something new and never seemed to run out of ideas. Even though we came from a poor family, we ate well, extremely well…a revelation that I only realized much later in life. As we were talking, I remembered shrimp fritters, or called hee chee or cucur udang in Malaysian language. They are crispy, doughy nuggets of little shrimp, bean sprouts and flour, fried to golden brown and served with her homemade garlic chili sauce. The thought of the shrimp fritters immediately made my mouth water. It’s a dish that I haven’t had for a long while, one recipe that my family is particularly fond of. So here it is, my mother’s simple yet delicious Malaysian shrimp fritters recipe. It is very easy to make and takes only a few basic ingredients. I have made the shrimp fritters again and again since my sister left, it is so good that my good friend’s little boy gave his thumb up after his first bite. Try the recipe and I am sure you will enjoy this homey and nostalgic recipe from my late mother. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.
