About Cucuk udang

Cucuk Udang is a savory snack originating from Malaysian cuisine, often enjoyed as a teatime treat or street food. It consists of shrimp and vegetables, such as onion, carrot, and scallion, mixed into a batter made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes rice flour or spices for added flavor. The mixture is deep-fried on skewers until golden and crisp. While cucuk udang is a good source of protein from the shrimp and contains nutrients from the vegetables, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in calories and fat, particularly saturated fat, depending on the type of oil used. Moderation is key when enjoying this dish, as overconsumption of fried foods can impact heart health and contribute to weight gain. Pairing it with fresh accompaniments, like a side salad or dipping sauces low in sugar, can help balance its nutritional profile while savoring its crunchy, savory goodness.
