About Pasembur

Pasembur is a Malaysian salad commonly enjoyed as street food, particularly in Penang. A vibrant mix of textures and flavors, the dish typically includes shredded cucumber, turnip, bean sprouts, prawn fritters, fried tofu, hard-boiled eggs, and occasionally cuttlefish or crab. It’s all drizzled with a rich, spicy peanut sauce that ties the ingredients together. While Pasembur offers a variety of nutrients from vegetables and protein sources like tofu and eggs, its healthiness depends on portion size and preparation. The addition of deep-fried items like prawn fritters can increase calorie and fat content, while the peanut sauce adds sugar and sodium. Opting for less fried toppings and a lighter drizzle of the sauce can make the dish more balanced. Pasembur reflects Malaysia’s multicultural culinary heritage and is as much about indulgence as it is a celebration of fresh and bold flavors.
