About Prawn paste chicken

Prawn Paste Chicken is a flavorful dish deeply rooted in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines, especially popular in Singapore and Malaysia. This savory treat features chicken pieces marinated in fermented prawn paste, traditionally combined with garlic, soy sauce, and seasoning to create its signature umami-packed taste. After marinating, the chicken is typically deep-fried to achieve a crispy, golden exterior and tender meat within. While it is rich in protein due to the chicken, the dish is relatively high in sodium from the prawn paste and salts used in preparation. Additionally, the deep-frying process increases its fat content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Pairing it with fresh vegetables and steamed rice can help balance the indulgent flavors and nutritional profile.
